Cathedral of St. Philip the Apostle

This cathedral holds a certain energy about itself. We walked in and had a seat for 5 mins. We were welcomed and left feeling better than we walked in.

Beautiful Catholic Church, conveniently located at the heart of the original town and park. Enough spaces to be seated and parking safe in the area close by.

The San Felipe Cathedral is the main Church of Puerto Plata, visible from almost everywhere in town with its two bell towers. It dominates the classic central square of Spain colonial cities with the square in size Independence park occupied with many locals and so lively. The Cathedral stands on the site of the former 16 c one which was destroyed during the Independence war. New Cathedral has a modern architecture and nice stained glass. We were lucky to visit it during the Mass.

On a cruise from New York to the Caribbean last week. First stop was Puerto Lata in the Dominican Republic. We found this delete full old church on the town plaza. Very nice interior.

It’s beautiful but not as majestic as other cathedral I ever see in Europe or US

Very beautiful Parish. Well kept and very historical and open to receive anyone who wants to worship.

Located on Independence Park (central part). You are allowed to enter and take pictures. There is a person trying to sell cross necklaces.

The cathedral is located next to Parque Central Independencia. The current structure was built in 1870. The original wooden building burned down during the Restoration in 1863. The cathedral has undergone a pair of renovations since then. The first took place from 1929, halted during the 1946 Dominican Republic earthquake and finished by 1956. The latest renovation repaired damage from the 2003 Dominican Republic earthquake and finished by 2008.
