Catedral Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe

The Catedral de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe (English: Cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe or simply Ponce Cathedral) is the Roman Catholic Diocese of Ponce's cathedral, which is located in downtown Ponce, Puerto Rico. The cathedral is situated in the heart of Ponce's town square, Plaza Las Delicias, which is located in the Ponce Historic Zone. In 1984, the cathedral was added to the National Register of Historic Places because of its historical significance. It is where the Bishop of Ponce, Rubén González Medina, now resides.

The Cathedral was built in 1670 and has a long history. It has been ravaged by fires and earthquakes on multiple occasions. Its elaborate design sets it apart from Puerto Rico's other four cathedrals. It has a massive pipe organ that was played by Juan Morel Campos, a danza maestro and composer. It is designed in the neoclassical style architecturally. It is built on a cruciform pattern, with a huge dome at the crossroads. A main nave and two broad aisles are split by a sequence of eight arcades on the inside. Inside, there are two modest chapels. The front facade is adorned with two three-story square towers.
