Cordoba cathedral is one of the most beautiful that I have visited, built more than 400 years ago and remodeled in the beginning of the century. You can enjoy the history and cross the street to several squares, business and restaurants

This church took 200 years to complete. If you are a Catholic this is a holy and spiritual place to come and pray and it it breath taking.
Not only is it an iconic religious building, but the structure stands as a true example of colonial architecture.
When we started the tour, we see the many styles that have been established as a true gem of the country. The lower part is light classical inspiration, while the top is clearly marked by the Baroque style. The interior, decorated only in the twentieth century was the result of the work of the founder of the first art school in the country, Emilio Caraffa, and highlights the paintings of the main roof and the transepts.
In the atrium the remains of two large Cordoba, Dean Gregorio Funes, the first rector of the university and the remains of General José María Paz Caudillo.
Right on the main square Plaza San Martin, this cathedral with a lavish interior has a particularly interesting facade, which "shines" at night - great for photos.
After 6 months traveling through S. America, old cathedrals all start looking the same unless they are truly extraordinary. This one doesn't qualify. But it is free to enter, beautiful at night, and worth a visit if you love cathedrals or haven't seen hundreds of them already.
Beautiful church and so colourful inside. It's free and doesn't take long to visit. Guided tours leave hourly I think but not sure if they are in English.
