Guided tour of the cathedral and its surroundings

We invite you to explore not only the cathedral, but also the vibrant context in which it grew up. We will visit the San José temple, which was, a few blocks away, the first religious building in Mazatlan. We will learn about the slow ascent of the church to basilica and cathedral; every corner of the building and its surroundings holds layers of history. The interior looks towards an abundance of religious art: architecture, statues and relics loaded with symbolism and an organ whose tubas remain silent solmene. Outside, the neighborhood offers colonial facades, peaceful courtyards and the daily rhythm of a community revolving around this sacred site. You will hear how the conflicts delayed their conclusion, how the war touched its walls and how the faithful persisted in raising it to the greatness it shows today. In the end, you will not only see a monument, but a living narrative where the architecture, devotion and pulse of the city meet.
