I think there’s some confusion because this complex actually has three churches: a chapel, the old cathedral with a pink façade, and a massive white cathedral with a tall bell tower, a single entrance, and a cross with a skull above it.

This review is about the old cathedral of Cuernavaca, the one with the pink façade. From the outside, it looks nothing like the typical cathedrals in Mexico City—its pink color, stone carvings, and overall design are completely different. It’s also quite old, even older than the main cathedrals in Mexico City.

Inside, there’s nothing particularly remarkable—it’s a typical cathedral of its time and is still in use. The massive retablo (altar screen) is certainly impressive, but all the ornamentation in Catholic churches tends to make my head spin.

You won’t miss it, so there’s no need to tell you it’s worth a visit—you’ll...

This isn't the actual cathedral, but a small church built just outside the monastery complex a few decades after the cathedral had been built in an impressively primitive romanesque style. This facade gives a good impression of the cross-fertilization of Spanish-Christian and Aztec decorative arts, while the cathedral itself is more basic and in keeping with the simplicity of the Franciscan missionaries who built it. There is a large, vaulted outdoor space where the indigenous people where taught (who apparently did not like to enter the enclosed space of a church).

Fairly recently (early 2000s?), original 16th-century frescoes were discovered and restored which depict sea-faring missionaries and Christian martyrdom in the Far East. Well worth a visit; wish I could've read up on this...

La Catedral de Cuernavaca, conocida oficialmente como la Catedral de la Asunción de María, es uno de los monumentos religiosos más importantes e históricos del estado de Morelos, México. Su construcción data del siglo XVI, cuando fue fundada como parte de un conjunto monástico franciscano para la evangelización de los indígenas. Originalmente fue un monasterio dedicado a San Francisco, pero posteriormente se convirtió en catedral en 1891, cuando se estableció la diócesis de Cuernavaca.

Características arquitectónicas

Estilo arquitectónico: La catedral presenta un estilo predominantemente renacentista y barroco, típico de las construcciones coloniales del siglo XVI. Su diseño es sencillo pero imponente, reflejando la austeridad franciscana.

Exterior: La fachada es sobria, destacando un campanario bajo y una portada con detalles minimalistas. A su lado se encuentran los muros altos y robustos que protegían el monasterio.

Interior: El interior es igualmente austero, con frescos restaurados que representan escenas religiosas, incluyendo algunas influencias del arte oriental debido a los intercambios culturales con Filipinas durante la colonia.

Murales históricos: En el área del exconvento, se encuentran murales del siglo XVII que representan el martirio de San Felipe de Jesús, el primer santo mexicano, que fueron descubiertos en el siglo XX.

Complejo monástico

El conjunto arquitectónico incluye varios espacios históricos:

La iglesia principal (ahora Catedral).

El exconvento franciscano.

Una capilla abierta.

Varias capillas anexas, como la de la Tercera Orden.

Significado cultural y religioso

La Catedral de Cuernavaca no solo es un centro de fe para los habitantes de la ciudad, sino también un símbolo del mestizaje cultural y la historia de México. Es un sitio turístico de gran relevancia, declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO como parte de los Primeros Monasterios del Siglo XVI en las faldas del Popocatépetl.

La combinación de historia, arte y espiritualidad hacen de la Catedral de Cuernavaca un lugar imprescindible para visitar y comprender la riqueza cultural...
