Catedral Basílica de la Inmaculada Concepción

Absolutely beautiful church that my wife and I were lucky enough to visit while in Mazatlan during a day at port on our cruise. The architecture is absolutely stunning and truly a thing to behold. I would highly recommend you visit here if you find yourself here be it on vacation or port of call.

A great way to spend an afternoon. The cathedral was pretty awesome. There is no admission charge but you can make a donation if you want. It's very close to the plaza, so you can check out the street vendors, shops and restaurants. Make sure to take small bills. One of the small street vendors wasn't able to make change for a $20 bill on a $3 purchase, not even in pesos.

Gorgeous historical monument of Christianity. The area is a mecca of middle size old time neighborhood. Always full of folks except at night. Lots of atmosphere. The square is full of wonderful little areas that needs exploring.

Beautiful church! We were on cruise and Mazatlan was one of our port stops. We followed the blue road to this church. The self guided tour was excellent.

I knew we were in a Holy place here. It was emotional! Absolutely must see the architecture and details of this special cathedral.

Wonderful Catholic Church. The architecture is quite unique and intricate. Our tour bus came here for a 20 minute stop. Remember to take your hat off while visiting to show your respect.

Absolutely stunning, finished in 1899. The whole square is beautiful. Worth visiting!

So beautiful and immaculate. Come, see and worship. Weekday 12nn mass is spectacular

Absolutely loving the preservation of this beautiful place of worship: The Minor Basilica Cathedral of Mazatlán, was dedicated to the Immaculate Conception, it is the city's main religious building. Designed in the Baroque style, it serves as the seat of the Diocese of Mazatlán and is located in the historic downtown area.

We were in Mazatlan and we know that the cathedral is one of the tourist attraction in downtown. We came here to check it out. The cathedral is big and is a very nice and place to sit and relax. It's free to walk in.

Beautiful Cathedral, with exquisite details. Open to the public and located near the mercado. Made for a wonderful stop to enjoy the artistry of the building. The interior of the church was far more rich in details than I anticipated as the exterior, compared to others, seemed to be toned down. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

This Church is absolutely beautiful. It has so much history and also learned that it is both a Cathedral and Basilica, making it even more special to me. We did attend Mass on Sunday. Unfortunately, it was really difficult to hear the readings and with only fans to cool off, it was very hot and humid. Regardless, I wouldn't trade this experience.

Our shore excursion included a stop here. Our local tour guide gave us the background on the construction of the cathedral. She said building funds ran out so prominent Jewish families donated funds to help finish construction. When you go inside look for the Star of David stain glass windows. We did an quick walkthrough inside as we're not religious folks. We appreciate the architecture.

I've mentioned before that I am not at all religious (although I am a self-proclaimed non-practicing Catholic.) But whenever I visit a foreign city who happens to have a historical church, I make it a point to make a quick stop. It is a beautiful cathedral. The detail and the work that went in it is incredible. There was a lot of love put into its walls, ceilings, even pillars. I ended up spending more time in here than I intended just looking at the intricate work that went into it. I didn't want to leave without making a donation - even a small one at that - if only to help maintain its stature. They say (not sure who "they" are) that at anytime you visit a church for the first time, you can make three wishes. So, I did that as well. TIP: There are plenty of souvenir stands outside. I assume they've gotten the approval of the church, so that's where we got a few things (vs. the market or anywhere else outside its walls.) A popular spot for tourists and locals alike. Highly recommending.

How impressive! I've been here a few times and each time has been just as impressive to see as the last. It's amazing how the stone structure is do perfectly built, and so beautiful at the same time. Highly recommended

Such a beautiful Cathedral that get to visit during our cruise. Didn't get a chance to come during the mass but will definitely try to do so when we get a chance to explore the city again in the future. Many little stores that sells religious items outside of the church's fence and also food and drink vendors across from the church. The church itself is very old but pretty well maintained considering it's also allowing tourist to explore its beauty from the inside. A renovation or preservation process is currently happening when I visited and hopefully the next time we come again it will be done and beautifully renovated. I love seeing lots of birds just gathering outside of the church yard underneath the trees. Very calming to see.

This is a beautiful church and I highly recommend going inside. The chandeliers are gorgeous. There was also beautiful religious artwork inside. I'm not normally one to seek out churches, but this was on our tour and it was worthwhile. Do dress modestly when visiting- cover your shoulders and don't wear shorts- men should remove their hats. There is a beautiful square across the street with benches if you feel tired.

It was such beautiful place to visit both architecturally and religiously. Absolutely lovely

Not being Catholic and not really ever going inside a Catholic church except for maybe a wedding years ago, I decided to go inside and check out the church for it's stained glass and whatever else I would find inside. I took off my baseball hat out of respect and entered the main Cathedral. Upon entering the church I found Jesus. No...I REALLY found Jesus on display in many areas inside the church as a baby and as an adult. I am not sure if this is typical but it was very beautiful. The Cathedral was really amazing with all the statues and art around the inside and of course up above your head (don't forget to look up all around) were fantastic to look at an appreciate. I saw a sign that showed no cell phones but it must of meant not to use them for calls as many people were shooting video on their cell phones and taking photos but without the flash. I spent about 30 minutes inside walking around looking at everything there was to look at. A great spot to stop in and sit down and rest after walking all around El Mercado Centro. 5 stars for photo ops and praying should you need to.

Beautiful cathedral in the center of Mazatlan. Don't let the outside of this cathedral fool you, the true beauty is on the inside with its magnificent high arching columned ceilings. Aside from the stunning architectural details you will also find beautiful stained glass murals, detailed ornate religious statues and quite a bit of detailed gold trim work that just combine into a visually stunning interior. If you are in Mazatlan visiting than this is an absolute must see. Whether you are religious or not. You will absolutely enjoy all the beauty and magnificence that this cathedral has to offer. Five stars.

Our second stop was Mazatan this once sleelping little fishing town now major city. I haven't been to Mazatan for years since very young it have change dramatic through the years. My wife and I got tour group to show us the city. The tour guide was nice and fun he took us to the Catedral Basilica de Mazatan built in the 1800's. We walk in to the basilica it was beautiful from the inside.

My parents and I visited this church last month while in Mazatlán for the day. It is located in the Old Town part of the city. It boasts a Star of David in 28 of its stained glass windows. The cathedral is furnished with an amazing collection of gold leaf decorated murals, crystal chandeliers, religious sculptures, and an organ. It is located directly across from Plazuela Republica. It is a must see.

Absolutely beautiful Cathedral in Mazatlan. This is a must see when you come to this beautiful old town. So much history was built around this Cathedral. It was built in the 1800's and you can feel the positive energy and the beauty is beyond words.

" Beautiful Cathedral Building " We took a Historical Tour of the Historic district in Mazatlan Sinaloa, Mexico the day after the famous Mardi Gras Celebration and one of the highlights of the tour was seeing the Cathedral Basilica de Mazatlan. We went on a walking tour and was able to see the beautiful Cathedral. This Cathedral took 20 years to build and had a lot of French influence in the construction of the building. It was started in 1899 on the site of ancient Indian Temple. Definitely one of the attractions that you want to see when you visit the city of Mazatlan, Sinaloa Mexico. We also walked around the Historical District and say many sites from the Mardi Gras Celebration.

Beautiful cathedral. Definitely worth a visit. This is an architectural highlight of Mazatlan.

Pretty church in Mazatlan, Mexico. We came across this church while walking and touring the city on our own. Decided to stop in and say a prayer before moving on. There was a mass service taking place at the time so we were unable to fully explore the church. From what I saw, it was stunning! As another Yelper mentioned, the church is surrounded by a large plaza and park. We purchased a lovely Rosary from the Church's shop outside. When in Mazatlan, this place of worship is nice to check out. Amen!

Wow! Spectacular place of worship. If your in Mazatlan you need to stop and admire this beautiful church. Built in 1899 on the site of an accent Indian temple. It took over 20 years to complete. There are 28 stained glass windows. A large plaza surrounds the church and a pretty park across the street. Vendors set up selling memorabilia, rosaries, St Christopher's, etc. We walked from the cruise ship port. Very safe with volunteers and police all around the area. Open daily 6am-1 and 4pm-8pm.

One of the most beautiful churches I've ever seen. Really cool to check out and nice to hang out. It's a good time to see for sure. Highly recommend checking it out if you're in the district.

Gorgeous cathedral in the middle of a lively street. Truly the heart of this place. A must visit kinda place when you're here.

Gorgeous! I love churches & cemeteries so I always make my husband visit beautiful churches when we're on vacation. This is a beautiful well kept catholic cathedral.

Beautiful cathedral, a landmark of the town. It took 40 years to build it. Italian marble floor. And lots of French influence.
