Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral

Hotels near Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral, Buenos Aires, Argentina .

Its beautiful architecture and rich history make the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral one of Argentina's most famous Catholic churches. Yet the breathtakingly designed structure through which travelers enter today is quite different from that originally built by colonizers in the 16th century. The church has been rebuilt numerous times since it was originally created and the appearance of its present structure reflects a combination of different architectural periods. Within the church's walls the decorations are of Neo-Baroque and Neo-Renaissance design, while the building structure has a 19th century Neoclassicafacade and an 18th century dome and nave. The Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral sits atop the Plaza de Mayo, in San Nicolas. Serving as the mother church of the Archdiocese of Buenos Aires, the Cathedral has been an important part of the Catholic community since its founding in 1580. Its location was chosen based upon its proximity to the main square. The first of the churches built upon this location was composed of wood and adobe and was replaced several times before the foundation of its current structure in 1684. With its beautifully grand and unique architecture, the Cathedral is truly a sight to behold.
