Monterrey Cathedral, Baroque cathedral in Monterrey, Mexico

The Metropolitan Cathedral of Our Lady of Monterrey features a central nave shaped like a Latin cross with arched vaults and an octagonal dome.

Construction of the cathedral took place from 1705 to 1791, and Pope Pius VI established it as the center of the Diocese of Linares in 1777.

The cathedral combines neoclassical and baroque architectural elements, with silver embellishments adorning the tabernacle chapel and a Merklin organ from 1893.

Located at coordinates 25°39′56″N 100°18′35″W, the cathedral stands in the center of Monterrey and remains an active place of worship for the Catholic community.

The interior structure includes specific niche chapels that flank the main nave, creating distinct spaces for private devotion within the main architectural layout.
