The most beautiful religious buildings North Coast

On the edge of the central park, its white towers and the simplicity of its architecture give this cathedral a small provincial air. Dating from 1956, it replaced the original wooden church (16th century) destroyed by fire in 1863, intentionally set by the "Restorers". The construction of the present cathedral began in 1929 under the aegis of the architect Tancredo Aybar Castellanos. The religious building, flanked by two towers, is of Art Deco inspiration.

The Templo Las Américas de La Isabela, also known as the Santuario de Jesucristo Evangelizador (Shrine of Jesus Christ the Evangelizer), was one of the very first Catholic churches to be built in the New World. Modest in size, what can be seen today is a reconstruction carried out on the ruins of the original temple. It's worth a visit for its historical value, as well as for the beautiful relics on display.
