Before the zocalo we may perceive the majestic towers of the cathedral, both with 73.93 metres of height and considered to be the highest in the country. Francisco Becerra and Juan de Cigorondo were to design in 1575 the construction of this temple, but it would acquire its actual shape after a readaptation design set about in 1640 right after the arrival of Bishop Juan de Palafox y Mendoza. A visit for tourists who admire its colossal vaults and brilliant decorations, lasts approximately 30 minutes. But the cathedral is only the beginning of such an extraordinary journey!
