Catedral Metropolitana Basílica Menor de San Lorenzo de Santa Cruz

Catedral Metropolitana Basílica Menor de San Lorenzo de Santa Cruz

5
Catedral Metropolitana Basílica Menor de San Lorenzo de Santa Cruz is the cathedral of the eastern Bolivian city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra. It is located in the heart of the old town, opposite Plaza 24 de Septiembre, where citizens gather daily. The existing building was designed by a French architect and blends eclectic and Baroque elements. Its red-brick facade features cornices and relief decorations, paired with symmetrical towers, making it highly recognizable. The interior features a three-nave layout. Looking up, you can see the painted wooden vault, which is its well-known signature feature. The main altar still retains silver-carved panels from the Jesuit missions of San Pedro de Moxos. Four reliefs of the same origin are displayed nearby, preserving the memories of the local missionary era within this building. Climb the bell tower stairs level by level. The view from the top covers Plaza 24 de Septiembre and the surrounding old town streets. You can also observe the operation of the vintage mechanical clock up close. If you are there when it chimes, the bells will ring right beside you.Santa Cruz · 2.4 km from downtown
