St. James the Apostle Cathedral, Santiago de los Caballeros, Catholic cathedral in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic.

The cathedral stands at Calle 30 de Marzo, featuring multiple architectural elements that represent different construction periods throughout its existence.

The cathedral's construction period extended from 1868 to 1894, following the destruction of the original parochial church by an earthquake in 1842.

The cathedral functions as the principal church of the Archdiocese of Santiago de los Caballeros, established as a diocese in 1953 by Pope Pius XII.

The cathedral maintains regular opening hours for visitors and holds religious services, with Archbishop Freddy Antonio de Jesús Bretón Martínez leading the administration.

During the war of restoration, the building served temporarily as a military fortress before returning to its religious function.
