About This File

The Catedral Metropolitana in Mexico City is the largest cathedral in the Western Hemisphere. It was constructed in the Spanish Baroque style of architecture and includes a pair of 64-meter neoclassical towers which hold 18 bells.

 

After the Spanish conquest of the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan, Hernan Cortes began the construction of a Catholic church. This church was demolished circa 1573 and a new cathedral was built on the same place. A side chapel, the Sagrario Metropolitano (1749-69), is the greatest triumph of the Mexican Churrigueresque style. The new cathedral was consecrated in 1667, but the final elements — bell towers and central dome designed by the Spanish neoclassical architect Manuel Tolsa — were finished in 1813.

 

The soft clay subsoil beneath Mexico City, which was originally built on a lake bed, and the removal of water from the soil has caused the sinking of many of the buildings in Mexico City's historic centre. Underground tunnels to stabilize the cathedral have prevented its collapse and have stabilized the uneven inclination of its sinking. It is located on Mexico City's central square, the Zócalo (officially Constitution Square).

Can I give this one a 13 out of 10 rating? This is so great that I will have to design an entire city around it, just to showcase it! Thank you for all you do to make SC4 a wonderful built environment.

This is excellent work indeed and very impressive, something I will use for a purpose or another in my Region, most likely as an events centre, museum or Region Council Hall. Oh I did notice, can we have stats or a dependency list please so we know what is needed etc please

This is one of the most beautiful BATs ever produced and how it can be less than 100% amazes me.

Somebody's been downrating again, so it appears...this is quite simply one of the most magnificient pieces of 3D modelling I have EVER seen in my career...from the moment I saw the initial stages I felt awe and jealousy that I could never create a work of art such as this...it's a true Grand Master.

Wow - I agree with Schulmanator. We'll need to design a city around this piece of art. How anyone can rate this anything lower than 10 is beyond me. They should be ashamed of themselves
