Puebla Cathedral
This photo was taken from
our hotel rooftop. What a great view!
In the bottom right of this picture is
the
Skybar, Attico 303 where we had a lovely meal the first night we
arrived.
While construction on this Cathedral
began in 1575, it wasn't usable until 1690. Overall, it took about 200 years
to complete.
Looking at the front of the Basilica it's
amazing to remember that in 1862, there was a huge battle here called The
Battle of Puebla. The French tried to establish themselves here in Mexico
because of Europe's interest in the silver mines, but the local Mexicans
would have none of it.

The interior of the Church
Beautiful Corinthian columns and railings
are inside this church. The ceiling is painted bright white with murals and
this lightens up what would have been a darker interior.
In all, there are 14 side chapels.
This Cathedral is dedicated to the
Immaculate Conception of Mary and is one of the oldest in Mexico.

The Church at night
The photo is taken from
the Plaza
with the beautiful fountain also lit up.
In the early days, this fountain was the
source of water for the town.

The domes in Puebla Cathedral
Here is a better look at the columns, the
railings and the domes overhead.

Stations of the Cross line the wall
Beautiful wrought iron doors and gates
are on the side of the main church.
The Stations of the Cross line the side
wall.

Octagonal altar in the center of the
photo
For a stone interior, it looks
deceptively light and airy.

The front of the Cathedral in Puebla
This Cathedral has two
towers, but only one of them has bells.
Legend says that there is a creek or
small river running under the other tower, and the vibration of bells
ringing would collapse it.
