This is Monterrey's Cathedral.
Built on the spot the City founders' reserved for it in 1596, the Cathedral (as you can see it today) wasn't built until 1770, and finished in 1899. Since it took that long to complete it, it has many architectural styles combined.
Located right in front the Grand Plaza (which is also called Macroplaza, the 3rd biggest square in the world), in a place now surrounded by buildings, like the Contemporary Arts Museum (Marco) on one side and the Mayor's Office across the street.
Esta es la Catedral de Monterrey.
Construida en el lugar que le reservaron los fundadores de la Ciudad en 1596, la Catedral (como la pueden ver hoy) no fué construida sino hasta 1770, y terminada en 1899, Debido al tiempo que tomó completarla, combina varios estilos arquitectónicos.
Está ubicada frente a la Macroplaza (también llamada Gran Plaza, la 3a plaza más grande del mundo), en un lugar rodeado de edificios, como el Museo de Arte Contemporáneo (Marco) por un lado y la Presidencia Municipal frente a ella.
