Write a reviewUna catedral, que de entre muchas cosas, es preciosamente hermosa, con una arquitectura imponente tanto en el interior, junto con el Palacio Nacional de la CDMX, son de los puntos más visibles y bellos que se encuentran rodeando la Plaza de la Constitución y de la CDMX en general. Los añísimos de historia que carga la Catedral son extremadamente abundantes siendo fundada por orden del rey Felipe II y estando en construcción desde el año 1573 hasta el año 1813, y dentro aparte de poder rezar y hacer otras actividades religiosas, puedes ir pasando pasillo por pasillo viendo la inmensa y preciosísima arquitectura interior de la Catedral junto con algunos demostrativos y piezas históricas importantes de la misma Iglesia a su vez que a cada paso sientes un aura de majestuosidad y grandeza enormes que te demuestra la Catedral al estar pulida tan perfectamente. Es un punto icónico a más no poder de la capital, y además, uno imperdible el cuál verás sí o sí pasando por esta zona, una maravilla total y merecidamente Patrimonio Cultural de la UNESCO, encantador.
Es una caredral bonita y demasiado grande es increible, el aforo es mucho aun sin misa me supongo que es por ser un lugar turísticos
Un lugar obligado a visitar por nacionales y extranjeros aunque no seas católico. La arquitectura y la historia de esta catedral es única y de calidad mundial.
