Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Barichara
Catedral de la Inmaculada Concepción
An 18th-century sandstone cathedral on the main square, with golden twin-tower facade that serves as Barichara's emblem.
The cathedral was begun in the late 18th century and built from local yellow sandstone. Its twin bell towers and classical facade glow golden in the setting sun. The interior is simple, with well-preserved wooden ceilings and altar. The main square, where the cathedral stands, is shaded by kapok trees and lined with cafés, and serves as the town's social hub. Entry is free. Please keep quiet during Mass.
Opening hours
About 7:00 am–12:00 pm and 3:00–7:00 pm (open during Mass times)
