Old and New Cathedral of Cuenca

Old Cathedral

It was built in 1557, but soon was too small for the faithful of the town. In 1880, they decided to build a temple to replace it. It is no longer consecrated and is operated as a museum.

New Cathedral
(Official Name:
Catedral Metropolitana de la Inmaculada Concepcion)


Its towers are truncated due to a calculation error of the architect. If they had been raised to their planned height, the foundation of this church to the Immaculate Concepcion, would not have been able to bear the weight. In spite of the architect's immense mistake, the New Cathedral of Cuenca is a monumental work of faith that began to be built in 1880. It is in Neo-Gothic style, and its blue and white domes have become a symbol for the city. Its facade is made of alabaster and local marble, while the floor is covered with pink marble, brought from Carrara (Italy).

When the Cathedral was first constructed 9,000 out of Cuenca's 10,000 inhabitants could fit.
