Our second tour stop. The inside far outshone the inside with an impressive altar/centerpiece, ceiling and statuary. I was especially impressed by the monument with all of the figures (disciples?) carved on the outside.

Entry Free of charge - donations welcome Since I love churches, this one has pleased my eye. The church was named "Matriz" antes. It's a Catholic church which deserves to be visited. Two things struck my mind: in front of one of the side altars a modern sculpture from presumably lasered glass was erected and second, in the main Altar area the Uruguayan Flag was shown alongside what I recognised as the Vatican flag.

It's the most beautiful church I've ever been to in my entire life. It's spectacular. Lots of works of art in sculpture.

The Montevideo Metropolitan Cathedral (Spanish: Catedral Metropolitana de Montevideo) is the main Roman Catholic church of Montevideo, and seat of its archdiocese. It is located right in front of the Cabildo across Constitution Square, in the neighbourhood of Ciudad Vieja. History; The origin of the church dates from Spanish colonial times (1740), when a church constructed of brick was built on the site.In 1790, the foundation was laid for the construction of the current neoclassical structure. The church was consecrated in 1804; it is dedicated to the Immaculate Conception and to the patron saints of Montevideo, Philip and James. There is one major altar, several side altars, memorials, and tombs of several of the former archbishops and bishops who served in the cathedral. On a side altar is venerated an image of the Virgin of the Thirty-Three, patron saint of Uruguay.

Beautiful and very peaceful cathedral. Great for visit and to know part from the History of Uruguay. It is one of "must visit" places for tourists in Montevideo. Recommended.
