Best Cathedral in Mexico

S	Shannon Sparks on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful historic cathedral with an impressive but slightly austere interior. There is also a side chapel with a cristo negro idol. Please be sure to honor local customs when you visit...no shorts, no tank tops, and no loud talking.
G	Gustavo “Gus” Mendias on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The rock, the history, they used to have tunnels in the old days. Pure history
M	Manuel Girisch on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A "must have seen"! No question. If you gobto Merida, you should see that.
R	Robert Chomicz on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An impressively large and plain cathedral church. From the outside it appears more like a fortress than a church. Once you venture indoors it takes on more familiar, eccliastical looks. A main nave and two side isles in a hall configuration. Outside of its sheer size the interior doesnt offer any memorable architecture, though it is impressive. Very quiet and cool inside, lots of beggars at the entrances.
A	Ali Galvan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's such an amazing architecture historical beauty, it's just unbelievable you can appreciate it from any angel if you're at the main plaza. I have a bit more attachment to this amazing building due to the fact that we share the same name Ildefonso can you believe it.
J	John Yong on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The main entrance was locked and closed and you have to use the side door to take a peep. The architect is marvelous, majestic and colonial in designs.
Z	Zacarias Michilinsky on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Only sad that we visited the place while at night thus no guided tours. The church from the outside looked spectacular and quite big. The presence of the church is commanding in the plaza as everywhere you go it shows it’s splendor.
D	Dejan Braki on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Merida Cathedral is a classic example of Spanish colonial architecture. Such Cathedrals you can see all over Americas, from Mexico down to Peru. It dominates the main Plaza Grande with its massive stonework and two bell towers. Foundations and first levels were built from demolished Mayan temples in the area. Both, inside and outside are not that decorated, but still simple and stylish.
