    Worth the trip..beautiful place. Very historic. Take a taxi or walk to get here. Just keep a firm grip on your wallet. My friends wallet was snatched out of his backpack while he was wearing it. Fortunately another Peruvian tapped on my shoulder, alerted me, pointed out the guy and I caught him. I'm 6'1" and he was 5' 1" so we discussed him turning it back over to which he replied that he'd found it and promptly handed it back to me. My friend, who was well ahead of me, was oblivious to the theft until I brought him his wallet back. As soon as I let loose of the thief's shirt, he bolted like a rabbit. While my friends passport and other items were in tact he did report that the little guy got away with four dollars. I'm sure he needed it...no loss...just be careful.

    (Translated by Google) It has a larger marble altar, designed by the architect Emilio Hart Terre. Two miraculous images are venerated. The Lord of Quinário or the "Lord of the Bullet" and the Virgin of Remedies. The front part of the interior of the Cathedral is silver and on the side walls you can see paintings from different schools (Cusqueña, Italian, etc.) (Original) Possui um altar maior de mármore, obra do arquiteto Emilio Hart Terre. Duas imagens milagrosas são veneradas. O Senhor do Quinário ou o "Senhor da Bala" e a Virgem dos Remédios. A parte frontal do interior da Catedral é de prata e nas paredes laterais podem se apreciar pinturas de diferentes escolas (Cusqueña, italiana, etc.)

    (Translated by Google) I could not enter because it is very difficult to find a schedule that is open to the public and you are not on an excursion. (Original) No pude entrar porque es muy difícil encontrar un horario que este abierta al publico y no estes de excursión.

    (Translated by Google) It is a pretty normal cathedral, typical of a town. We could not appreciate the main square for how much it is being remodeled, we went in January 2020, it will surely be very beautiful. We ate ice cream in a corner and ice cream flavors that we did not find in our country, such as fig ice cream! But if you don't visit the center and you only go to the islands you don't miss much. (Original) Es una catedral normal bonita, típica de un pueblo. No pudimos apreciar la plaza de armas por cuánto está en remodelación, fuimos en enero de 2020, seguramente quedará muy bonita. Nosotros comimos helado en una esquina y peinados helados de sabores que no encontrábamos en nuestro país, como por ejemplo helado de higo! Pero si no visitas el centro y sólo vas a las islas no te pierdes mucho.

    Although this may seem like a cathedral.or church like many that skirt the plaza de armas in this country, it does it's purpose well and with grace. On a rainy day, I happened upon it to see the candles lit and mass about to be performed for a small group of people. The Catholic religion may have it's terrible controversies, but for the locals this is a refuge.

    Come here for night pictures of the Cathedral. It is not one of the biggest Cathedrals but its one of the nicest buildings in Puno. The lighting is nice at night and the front of the Cathedral has some nice detailed work.

    Beautiful church, majestic touch to the main plaza in Puno. Visit the church on Saturdays to get a chance to be part of the local weddings.

  • 3/5 Jaring A. 11 years ago on Google
    Puno Cathedral is a nice building; and it looks good from the main square. But Puno Cathedral also is not well kept up-to-date. It can do with a good clean-up and fix-up; specially the interior.

  • 5/5 Manisha S. 4 years ago on Google
    Beautiful church facing the park!! All the good pubs, bars, restaurants and shopping options are available just round the corner. An evening well spent!

  • 4/5 David L. 5 years ago on Google
    Very nice cathedral located at the Plaza. Together with the mountains it creates a nice picture. From the inside not so spectacular. The choice if the floor is interesting: The wood floor makes a funny noise with every step in rubber shoes 😅

    The Puno Cathedral is a stunning architectural gem in the heart of Puno. Its intricate design, rich history, and breathtaking views from the towers make it a must-visit attraction. Exploring its ornate interior and learning about its cultural significance is a truly enriching experience. Don't miss the chance to appreciate this beautiful piece of Puno's heritage.

  • 3/5 Vincent O. 6 months ago on Google
    Architecture and decor similar to so many Catholic churches in Peru (and Spain) but each still serene and beautiful. Definitely worth visiting when in Puno.

  • 3/5 Nekane B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The cathedral imposes on the main square, which, unfortunately, is under construction. How we have been at the end of the year has cost us work to see the open cathedral. Inside is austere, it doesn't have much. (Original) La catedral impone en la plaza de armas, la cual, desgraciadamente, se encuentra en obras. Cómo hemos estado en fin de año nos ha costado trabajo ver la catedral abierta. Por dentro es austera, no tiene gran cosa.

👍 Puno really have nothing but you can take a break in this lovely small town. If you have extra energy, you can climb up 600+ stairs to enjoy a great view. Really tired.
