Campeche Cathedral
Catedral de Nuestra Señora de la Purísima Concepción
A white baroque cathedral with twin towers beside Independence Plaza, lit up at night and a hallmark of the old town skyline.
Construction of the cathedral began in the mid-16th century and took nearly two centuries to complete. Its front facade is in the Baroque style, and its two bell towers were built in different periods. At night, the exterior walls are lit, creating one of the most classic views of the old town alongside Independence Plaza. The interior is simple, and a small museum to the side displays religious art. Admission is free. Please keep quiet and dress appropriately during Mass.
Opening hours
Approx. 07:00–20:00 (Mass times confirmed on site)
