    It is a beautiful cathedral in the middle of downtown Medellin. History records the building with the most bricks used to build it: 1,120,000 of them. It is the place chosen for big ceremonies in the city, like farewells and weddings.

    Worth visiting. A big beautiful cathedral. Exposed brick exterior and interior. Huge. Long aisle and high ceiling. Surrounded by parks. Two small parks at both rear sides, and a big one in front. Has a turquoise fountain facing the facade. The parks are a bit sketchy. Lots of homeless. Police are stationed at the park in front. Only felt safe due to the stationed police officers.

    Amazed by the beautiful architecture throughout this cathedral. A must see gem when in Medellin.

  • 5/5 JOSE DAVID C. 1 year ago on Google
    An spectacular church that reminds the years 1700 and 1800 when they used to begin to use bricks in the constructions and high sealings in the churches that where so important. Today the church is absolutely gorgeous and well conserved, and receives thousands of people per week. The church makes a great complement with the Bolivar park and it’s fountain. Happy to see how the city has conserved in so well standing this antique church and today cathedral.

    It has some beautiful stained glass windows. however, it is on a really bad shape, It smells musty, and you can clearly see that the wood on the ceiling is deteriorating.

    Giant brick church, nothing too exciting but it's big!

  • 5/5 Gary G. 4 years ago on Google
    Beautiful mass, Sancta Misa, with the bishop.

  • 5/5 André B. 2 years ago on Google
    Imposing Romanesque style cathedral, which contrasts with the colonial churches normally found in Colombia. Worth the visit!

  • 5/5 Augustin R. 4 years ago on Google
    The church is nice but located in a not so nice area especially at night. However it is a very traditional place!
