Information
The Metropolitan Cathedral of Xalapa was originally built in 1641 in the style of the Franciscan churches but has undergone many changes since then that there is not much left to say that its current style is eclectic with Baroque dominant. It has two towers, an incomplete one and another with a clock brought especially from England. The popular legend relates that the construction was interrupted because the tunnels emerging from the basilica not bear the floor of the new building.
It is the most important cathedral of the State of Veracruz and is the See of the Metropolitan Archbishop.
