Guadalajara Cathedral

The Guadalajara Cathedral or Metropolitan Cathedral of Guadalajara is a Mexican historic landmark located in downtown Guadalajara. The Cathedral was first built in 1541 as a church with an adobe and a thatched roof. It was recognized by Pope Pius XII and has been promoted to the rank of Minor Basilica. Throughout the years, the Cathedral has suffered many earthquakes which caused the towers to collapse. The new towers were designed by Architect Manuel Gomez Ibarra and were constructed in 1854. The exterior of the Cathedral is stunning, but the truly breathtaking beauty can be discovered inside. It consists of nine altars, made of marble and silver, dedicated to several Patron Saints.

Originally founded in 1792, the University of Guadalajara (Universidad de Guadalajara) is a public university in Jalisco. The university is among the largest and most honored institutions of higher education in Mexico.
