Catedral Primada (La)

Carrera 7 con Calle 11 esquina, Bogota, Colombia
Tel: +57 1 3411954
 

The Cathedral is located on the east side of Plaza de Bolivar. Its construction is of huge architectonic proportions, designed by the monk Domingo de Petres. The elegance of its neo-classical style can be appreciated in its high altar and the choir loft and pews, which date back to the 17th century. It was here that in 1538, the first mass, following the foundation of Bogota, took place. This is also the burial place for Bogota's founder, Gonzalo Jimenez de Quesada.
