World Heritage
Nicaragua
🎧 Listen to Introduction
Built between 1747 and the early 19th century, the cathedral was designed by Guatemalan architect Diego José de Porres Esquivel and embodies the transition from Baroque to Neoclassical architecture, and its style can be described as eclectic. The cathedral is characterized by its austere interiors and ample natural light. However, the vaults of the sanctuary are richly decorated. The cathedral houses important artworks, including a wooden Flemish altarpiece and paintings of the 14 Stations of the Way of the Cross by Nicaraguan artist Antonio Sarria (late 19th and early 20th centuries).
