Purísima Concepción cathedral
Opposite the park, at almost the same place where the first mass was celebrated back in 1819, the cathedral de la Purísima Concepción stands. It is considered one of the oldest buildings of Cienfuegos. The cathedral is built using the Doric style and is distinguished by its wonderful French stained-glass windows representing the twelve apostles. Chinese writing discovered on columns during recent restoration is thought to date from the 1870s. The cathedral is nearly always open and mass is held daily.
