Monterrey Cathedral
Catedral Metropolitana de Nuestra Señora de Monterrey
A Baroque and neoclassical cathedral on the Macroplaza. Its yellow bell tower and the orange-red Faro del Comercio across the square make a striking pair.
The Metropolitan Cathedral of Our Lady of Monterrey was begun in the 17th century and took more than a century to complete. Its main façade is Baroque, while the bell tower, added later, is neoclassical. Murals and altars decorate the interior. Across the square stands the orange-red Faro del Comercio, making this one of the classic photo combinations on the Macroplaza. Entry is free. Please keep quiet during Mass and dress respectfully. It can be visited together with Barrio Antiguo.
Opening hours
Daily approx. 07:00–20:00 (except during Mass)
