Distant and mysterious Mexico, which is surrounded on both sides by oceans, has always attracted tourists with its puzzles. His secrets about the traces of the ancient Mayan civilization, all the way to the authentic architectures that enchant today.
Anyone who visits Mexico City knows the imposing cathedral that dominates the central square of Mexico City, or zócalo it is impossible not to notice.
Visiting Mexico, one of the most significant and important buildings that caught my attention is the Metropolitan Cathedral, and I think one of the most important cathedrals in history, which is located in the main square of Mexico City.
Its imposing size, fascinating history, beautiful art and architecture that this cathedral is proud of make it one of the most significant buildings in the country.
Due to the long process in the construction of this cathedral, somewhere around 250 years, since the construction took a very long time, various architectural styles that were in fashion in that century can be noticed on this cathedral.
This cathedral is decorated with a mixture of baroque, gothic and neoclassical styles. Between the two towers that reach the sky, there is a front door that is decoratively made on both sides, various figures that dominate the facade of the cathedral and above is a clock, above it are also gilded figures.
The main facade is made with relief, the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, to which the cathedral is dedicated.
Probably, this long-term construction also influenced the interior. Various decorations, paintings, sculptures and furniture can be seen in this cathedral.
The Latin cross, which marks the plan of the plaque, is the cathedral with the main facade to the south, it contains three entrances, but it is only one for visitors and it is surrounded by an iron fence.
CATHEDRAL INTERIOR:
There are five decorated altars in the cathedral, Altar of Prosperity, Altar of Kings, main altar, Altar of the Risen Jesus and Altar of the Virgin Zapopan.
The altars simply shine with their splendor, decorated with carved figures of saints, gilded statues of angels, basically everything is decorated with mother-of-pearl and gold.
The cathedral is richly decorated in the Baroque style, the ceiling can be clearly seen, which is all in arches, thick and decorative pillars. Only the cathedral is allowed to be photographed, but without the flash, so some photos are a bit darker.
Although it was a little darker, I was inspired by those figures who, when you look at them, almost don't speak.
Under the royal altar there is a tomb for the archbishops, the tomb is not allowed access, but it is still worth mentioning.
The floor of the cathedral is uneven, which proves that the cathedral is threatening to sink, which does not only apply to the cathedral but to the entire city. However, the cathedral is a special case because it sinks unevenly, which may endanger the survival of the structure.
Otherwise, the cathedral is about 350 meters long and about 200 meters wide, and contains a total of 25 bells.
One wonderful attraction in the city of Mexico that really needs to be visited, in addition to its size, the set of various architectures on its facade, its interior is really something special, visiting other churches, this is really something of inestimable value.
I also noticed an interesting sculpture, with an inscription about the cathedral below.
I think that this city can provide interesting things for everyone, basically something for everyone, adventurers, art lovers, romantic souls. I think those who have visited him once are always happy to come back to him.
