The Cathedral

This church is a perfect example of Acapulco's rich history with Spanish, Moorish and native influences. Its distinctive sky blue domes dominate the downtown plaza. Step inside this cool and quiet church and admire the collection of religious statues. Saturdays are a good day to peek in on local weddings and baptisms as these events are a window into Mexican life.

Erected in 1930 and known as "Nuestra Señora de la Soledad", one of its most outstanding characteristics is its dome, constructed in the shape of a Mosque with its Byzantine towers. In the interior, its golden yellow tiled floor and its white and blue walls, are strange witnesses to a Christ in a crystal coffin.
