Cathedral of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception
Catedral de la Purísima Concepción
The neoclassical cathedral on the east side of José Martí Park, with twin bell towers and French stained-glass windows that form an important part of the old town’s skyline.
Construction of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception began in 1833 and was largely completed in 1869. Its neoclassical façade has two bell towers of unequal height. Inside is a set of brightly colored French stained-glass windows depicting the twelve apostles. The cathedral stands on the east side of José Martí Park, and together with the theater and city hall it forms the architectural ensemble of the square.
