    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.

    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.

    Awesome church! Provides some cool photo opportunities, and photos are encouraged. The staff was welcoming, and eager to provide answers. It is in the heart of Puerto Plata. If in the area I highly recommend that you visit this church.

    Located in the historic center of the city of Puerto Plata, this impressive example of modern Victorian architectural style, is one of the most visited religious buildings on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. This temple has two large bell towers, three front doors, a large central altar and a big cross-shaped stained glass window that presents the Ascension of Christ. In 2003, an earthquake affected the structure, forcing the complete restoration of the temple in 2008.

    (Translated by Google) A very nice Catholic cathedral in the center of the city. You can probably visit it all day long because it is not closed, and sometimes you get to a concert. I recommend attending the mass, we happened to be on Epiphany and it was an interesting experience. Can you imagine a Polish bishop who sees no problem with taking pictures with the faithful? There are many tourist attractions around it and you will always be approached by a local guide who will offer help in exploring the area. In my opinion, it is worth using his help instead of wandering around the city alone in search of interesting places. (Original) Bardzo ładna katolicka katedra w centralnym punkcie miasta. Można ją najprawdopodobniej zwiedzać przez cały dzień ponieważ nie jest zamykana, a czasem udaje się trafić na koncert. Polecam udział w mszy, nam się zdarzyło być w Święto Trzech Króli i było to ciekawe doświadczenie. Wyobrażacie sobie polskiego biskupa, który nie widzi problemu z robieniem sobie zdjęć z wiernymi? Wokół niej jest wiele atrakcji turystycznych i zawsze zaczepi Was jakiś miejscowy przewodnik, który zaproponuje pomoc w zwiedzaniu okolicy. Moim zdaniem warto skorzystać z jego pomocy zamiast krążyć po mieście samemu w poszukiwaniu ciekawych miejsc.

    This is a nice church. I went here while I was at Puerto Plata and was satisfied with my experience. I walked into the church and looked around. The church had lots of wooden pews and an altar. The church has some nice architecture, which looks nice. After walking around the church, I left, satisfied with my experience. I gave this church five stars because it has nice architecture and it’s conveniently located right by Parque Central.

    (Translated by Google) A beautiful church. With impressive architecture on the outside and inside. It is bordered by the central park and Victorian houses that give it that nostalgic flavor. Inside you can find works of arts related to Christianity, an oratory and if you want to enjoy a traditional Catholic mass every afternoon one is offered. (Original) Una iglesia hermosa. Con una arquitectura impresionante en su exterior e interior. La bordea el parque central y casas victorianas que le dan ese sabor a nostalgia.
