Catedral de Morelia

This cathedral is absolutely legit. It surrounded by not 1 but two plazas on both sides of the cathedral. The cathedral is obviously very well maintained and extremely clean both inside and outside. This cathedral looks much better in person in comparison to the photos you will see online of this cathedral. If you look closely at certain parts of the building, you will see its original pinkish bright color. Most of the buildings color has shaded into a more dull shade of pink but it still looks absolutely beautiful!

Morelia Cathedral, one of the finest examples of Mexican Baroque architecture, constructed between the 17th and 18th centuries from distinctive pink cantera stone. With its twin towers—among the tallest in Mexico—the cathedral reflects Morelia’s colonial wealth and religious importance and remains a central symbol of the city’s identity and UNESCO-recognized historic heritage. In Morelia, the Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) is observed with deep respect and regional tradition, influenced strongly by nearby Indigenous Purépecha communities. Celebrated on November 1 and 2, the city comes alive with altars (ofrendas) decorated with marigolds, candles, sugar skulls, photographs, and traditional foods such as pan de muerto. Highly recommended on your travels through Michoacán area.Pottery production in the town has long been an important traditional craft, rooted in Indigenous techniques passed down through generations. Local artisans typically work with regional clays, shaping vessels by hand or on simple wheels and firing them in wood-burning kilns. Opportunity to pick up some beautiful indigenous clay works in the city.

By far one of the most beautiful cathedrals in the state. This is the heat of Morelia. What ever you need to do in this city you have to pass by the center and see the magnificent Spanish architecture of the 1600 century.

On your next visit to Morelia, visit the imposing cathedral in the center of the city, well preserved and part of the colonial history of the old Valladolid. It is a beautiful postcard from the outside and at night you can watch the illumination of the church. It has a German pipe organ more than a century old and 4600 flutes. I recommend it!

Beautiful Cathedral! The park is well taken care of and the round cut trees are unique.

Beautiful experience. I highly recommend it! 👌🏻

La catedral es verdaderamente hermosa. Desde el momento en que entras, se siente una paz incomparable. La arquitectura me dejó con la boca abierta, cada detalle está lleno de historia y belleza. Sin duda, un lugar que inspira y que vale la pena visitar.

One of the most beautiful churches that I have seen. Mass is every hour on the hour, so full of history and the architecture of the building is beautiful. I felt as though I was in England. If in the area do stop by even if it's just for a moment. 5 well deserved stars
