Catedral de San José
Saint Joseph Cathedral
Saint Joseph Cathedral (Spanish:
Catedral de San José) is a Roman Catholic church in Antigua Guatemala,
Guatemala. The original church was built around 1541, but suffered several
earthquakes throughout its history, and the first church building was demolished
in 1669. The cathedral was rebuilt and consecrated in 1680. By 1743 the
cathedral was one of the largest in Central America. However, the devastating
1773 Guatemala earthquake seriously damaged much of the building, though the two
towers at the front remained largely intact. These have undergone restoration
work, and the cathedral has been partly rebuilt.
