St. George's Cathedral

St. George's Cathedral, Melkite Greek Catholic Cathedral in Montalbán, Caracas, Venezuela

Description

St. George's Cathedral is a Greek Catholic church in Montalbán with white stone walls, a prominent central dome, and two symmetrical bell towers flanking the main facade. The architecture combines Eastern and Western design elements in its composition.

History

Construction began in the early 20th century to serve the growing Greek Catholic population in the Venezuelan capital. The project reflects the waves of immigration that brought new religious communities to Caracas.

Culture

The church maintains Eastern Christian traditions through its Byzantine-style iconostasis and ornately decorated altars. Visitors experience liturgical ceremonies here that differ markedly from those in Western churches.

Practical

The church is located near the Francisco Fajardo Highway on 3rd Avenue Montalbán and is accessible to visitors during daylight hours. Guided tours are available and visitors should be respectful of the religious nature of the space.

Did you know?

The building serves as the headquarters of the Melkite Catholic Apostolic Exarchate for all of Venezuela. This role makes it the administrative center for the country's Eastern Catholic community.
