St. Joseph's Cathedral, Puerto Cabello, Catholic cathedral in Puerto Cabello, Venezuela.

The cathedral building stands with a distinctive front facade, featuring two symmetrical bell towers and multiple stained glass windows throughout its structure.

The construction of St. Joseph's Cathedral began in 1851 when the National Congress allocated land for its establishment, completing the structure in 1852.

The cathedral holds regular Latin rite ceremonies and serves as the main religious center for the Diocese of Puerto Cabello, established by Pope John Paul II.

Visitors can attend religious services, explore the architectural elements, and participate in guided tours that explain the cathedral's religious significance.

During Venezuela's Liberation War, the cathedral premises temporarily served as a detention facility before returning to its religious functions.
