Majestic Guadalajara Cathedral

Guadalajara Cathedral stands as a testament to centuries of history and architectural evolution.

Founded in 1561 and completed in 1618, this cathedral was initially built during the Spanish colonial period and has significant historical importance. After an earthquake in 1818, new neo-Gothic towers were constructed, distinguishing the building's silhouette. Its interior features a Gothic crypt housing three archbishops and 11 ornately decorated altars gifted by King Fernando VII of Spain, alongside massive gold-leaf pillars.
