Catedral de la Mercedes

Reviewed By redeco - Warren, United States

The story goes that the original cathedral burned to the ground in the mid 19th century, so parishioners rebuilt using pre-fabricated steel plates purchased in Belgium. The rust-red church is completely made of these plates with white filigree decorative elements. The interior is whitewashed which enhances the feeling of spaciousness. The white marble main altar is stunning. Many shrines and statues are objects of devotion for the faithful here. Overall, the cathedral is simply decorated and there is a sense of peace here. It doesn't take too long to visit. Enjoy!
