Catedral del Señor de Tabasco
A modern Catholic cathedral with two white spires about 75 metres tall, a landmark on the Villahermosa skyline.
The Cathedral of the Lord of Tabasco stands on the site of an earlier church that was demolished during the anti-clerical movement of the 1930s. Construction of the present building began in the 1960s, and its two white spires, each about 75 metres tall, were not completed until the 2000s. With its clean, modern design, it is one of the most striking buildings in the city. Inside it is spacious and bright, and it houses an image of the Lord of Tabasco, a crucifix. Entry is free. Mass on Sundays is busy. The cathedral lies in the southern part of the city centre and can be combined with the riverside walk and the anthropology museum.
