#### The oldest religious site in the Cochabamba Valley, this cathedral overlooks the city’s main square and creates a stunning central attraction.

Construction of the Cochabamba Cathedral as it stands today began in 1701, but its origins stem back centuries earlier. An original church was built on the site in the late 16th century, on the 14th-century foundations of a former villa, making the cathedral the oldest religious site in the valley. Come to Plaza 14 de Septiembre, Cochabamba’s main square, to see this cathedral that has been at the heart of the city for centuries.

Built during the colonial period, the cathedral has a distinct Spanish Baroque architectural style, but borrows from indigenous Bolivian mestizo styles, creating a result unique to the region. Admire its architecture from the lively square in front of the church. Park benches in the square create an ideal place for lunch or a morning snack purchased from street vendors. Capture photographs of the cathedral set against the city behind it or visit at night to see it illuminated against the night sky.

Enter the cathedral’s cavernous nave to see its domed ceilings and vaults laid out in a Latin cross pattern. Decorated largely in ceramic tiles, the domes feature intricate patterns. Explore the interior to discover statues of saints, a large altar and a number of murals adorning the walls. Look for the grotto containing a depiction of the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception.

The cathedral remains active today. Attend Mass for a fascinating way to understand the importance of religion in Bolivia. Check Mass times at the church upon arrival.

The Cochabamba Cathedral is located on Plaza 14 de Septiembre in the heart of the city. There is no fee to enter the Cochabamba Cathedral and it is open daily. Reach the church on foot from most areas of the city or arrive by minibus or taxi from farther away. Once at the church, you’ll find yourself close to the major attractions of the city and a variety of dining options.
