Metropolitan Cathedral

Abutting the Plaza de Caicedo, the Metropolitan Cathedral stands as Cali’s most significant church, serving as the official seat of the city’s Roman Catholic Archdiocese. Construction of this neoclassical structure began in 1772 and was completed in 1841, a span of 69 years, due to political delays. Designated as a national monument in 1982, the cathedral invites visitors to explore its historical and architectural significance. Today, guests can step inside to admire the intricate details and experience the solemn atmosphere that has made it a central part of Cali’s religious and cultural heritage.
