Caracas Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Plaza Bolívar, Caracas, Venezuela
The cathedral features five naves supported by 32 columns, with a stone structure topped by a distinctive tile roof and neoclassical facade.
After its initial construction as a mud chapel in the mid-16th century, earthquakes in 1641 and 1812 led to multiple reconstructions of the building.
The cathedral contains the burial vault of Simón Bolívar's parents and wife, with a modern sculpture depicting El Libertador mourning his family members.
Located on the eastern side of Plaza Bolívar, the cathedral stands near the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo and provides regular religious services.
The interior displays valuable artworks, including paintings attributed to Rubens and Murillo, alongside ornate gilded altars and decorated side chapels.
