Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana)

Overlooking Plaza de la Constitución in the heart of Guatemala City, the Metropolitan Cathedral stands as a resilient and imposing Neoclassical-Baroque structure. Despite the city’s history of devastating earthquakes, the cathedral, with its distinctive blue domes, remains a prominent house of worship. Visitors can enter through a 12-pillar entrance to explore the vast, austere interior, which is adorned with religious paintings, intricate carvings, and gleaming gold altars.
