2017 - Mexico - Colima - Catedral Basílica Menor de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe de Colima
Oh yes, Colima has a church - Catedral Basílica Menor de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe de Colima (Minor Basilica).
The Cathedral of Colima was designated on October 12, 1998 by Pope John Paul II, as a minor basilica, as it is the first consecrated to the Virgin of Guadalupe in Latin America.
The church is built in the same place the Spaniards assigned for the parish and the royal houses of the city.
Its origin dates back to 1525 during the colonial era. Its built of adobe with ornaments of gold, brick and stone. So far it has survived the many earthquakes that rock this area of Mexico.
Its the oldest cathedral in Mexico and North America.
The decoration is of Baroque and Neoclassical styles highlighting cedar wood carvings by cabinet makers Manuel Cedeño and Andrés González.
The pulpit is the work of the renowned carver Othón Bustos;
It also houses an ancient sculpture of San Felipe de Jesús, patron saint of the city since 1668.
