Immaculate Conception Cathedral, Tampico, Neoclassical cathedral in Tampico, Mexico
The Immaculate Conception Cathedral features three naves arranged in a Latin cross plan, with symmetrical shapes and decorative elements defining its architectural structure.
Construction began in 1841 under architect Lorenzo de la Hidalga, facing challenges including a nave collapse in 1917 and tower destruction by lightning in 1922.
The cathedral functions as the primary church of the Diocese of Tampico, hosting religious ceremonies and serving as a central point for Catholic worship.
Located opposite the Plaza de Armas in central Tampico, the cathedral opens daily for visitors and maintains regular mass schedules throughout the week.
The interior displays detailed frescoes and stained glass windows depicting biblical narratives, while the exterior exhibits intricate sculptural work on its facade.
