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).

WOW...Stunning, beautiful, amazing, what more can I say? This deserves so much more than just a 10.... For those of you that downrated this out of spite and jelousy...you are being beyond childish and should be very ashamed of yourselves. How many more Batters do you want to push of the STEX?

Debussyman - this is truly amazing. Words fail me to describe the beauty of the building. Words also fail me to describe the purile nature of the individual who downrated so that he could make a point. As to who did it? Let me say it stands out like a single Borg thumb....10/10 from me.
