An spectacular church that reminds the years 1700 and 1800 when they used to begin to use bricks in the constructions and high sealings in the churches that where so important. Today the church is absolutely gorgeous and well conserved, and receives thousands of people per week. The church makes a great complement with the Bolivar park and it’s fountain. Happy to see how the city has conserved in so well standing this antique church and today cathedral.

This architecturally stunning structure should undoubtedly be included in your Medellin itinerary. It is conveniently located near the plaza with Botero sculptures, making it an ideal stop during your downtown exploration. Step inside and immerse yourself in the building's colonial neo-romanticism style, characterized by its modest yet elegant décor. The serene ambiance and sense of contentment will leave a lasting impression on your soul.

Visited the Cathedral on a Sunday for prayer and was in awe by the size and magnificent stained glass windows. It's a peaceful space with many pews and has a history from Spanish Colonial times. There is a fountain outside with benches for seating and access to the inside from a few entrances on the street. If you decide to check out the interior keep your voice to a whisper for respect, as there are many locals praying.

Worth visiting. A big beautiful cathedral. Exposed brick exterior and interior. Huge. Long aisle and high ceiling. Surrounded by parks. Two small parks at both rear sides, and a big one in front. Has a turquoise fountain facing the facade. The parks are a bit sketchy. Lots of homeless. Police are stationed at the park in front. Only felt safe due to the stationed police officers.

Hermosa Catedral situada en pleno centro de Medellín, en la Candelaria. Si no conoces Medellín, es una zona por la que debes ir con mucha preocupación, y, a ser posible, de día. Hay muchos habitantes de calle y se siente inseguridad en todos los alrededores. Se sitúa justo delante del Parque Bolivar, que es precioso, el cual no pudimos disfrutar de sentarnos porque estaba llenísimo por todos lados de estos habitantes de calle, malorientes y drogados. La catedral por dentro es completamente una pasada, igual que por fuera. No pude fotografiar mucho, ya que fuera me daba mucha inseguridad sacar el móvil y dentro por respeto no me atreví más. Creo que le debería de dar menos estrellas, pero viendo lo majestuosa que se ve, por dentro y por fuera, lo bien conservada que está, no le voy a quitar valor por el contexto que te puedes encontrar en el exterior, aunque, si es cierto, que si no existiera tuviera mis 5 🌟 Recomendable para aquellos que les guste visitar la arquitectura de las catedrales, parroquias, iglesias, etc.

It's a nice place to visit but it's usually close and it only opens for special occasions. Also, there are too many tramps and beggars outside and around the square, it doesn't look safe at all. But it's cool if you are religious or just want to take a look at the beautiful architecture and paintings in the inside
