Cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe
Catedral de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe
A twin-towered cathedral standing in the middle of Plaza Las Delicias. Its silver dome is a landmark of the old town skyline.
Our Lady of Guadalupe Cathedral was begun in the 17th century and rebuilt several times after earthquakes and fires. The present neoclassical structure was completed in 1931. Its two bell towers and silver dome stand out on the square. Inside are stained-glass windows and an ornate altar, and the church is the cathedral of the Catholic Diocese of Ponce. Admission is free. It is generally open in the morning outside Mass times, and modest dress is required. The cathedral sits beside the old fire station and can be visited together with the square. Allow about 20–30 minutes.
Opening hours
Usually 06:00–12:00, plus Mass times
