Pasto Cathedral
Catedral del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús
A Sacred Heart cathedral completed in the early 20th century, its red-and-white façade and twin bell towers making it a city landmark.
Pasto Cathedral is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Construction began in 1899 and was completed in 1920. Its façade blends neoclassical and Romanesque elements, with alternating red brick and white bands. The twin bell towers rise high, and the spacious, bright interior has fine stained glass and carved wood. The cathedral is in the city centre, about a three-minute walk from Plaza de Nariño. Admission is free, and it can be visited together with the colonial churches nearby.
