Had the entire place to ourselves

Fundado por el monseñor Pierini en el año 1938, a lo largo de su historia como sede del arzobispado de la Plata, la catedral fue acumulando destacadas obras de arte, de artistas locales y extranjeros, piezas de orfebrería y ornamentos sagrados, procedentes de la Catedral y de diferentes iglesias de la arquidiócesis de Sucre; y principalmente se formó en base a la coleccion de piezas historicas de el Arzobispo Benito María Moxó. En 1945 se crea un fondo con las obras de arte de la catedral y las que fue acumulado por Mons. Víctor Arríen, posteriormente Mons. Julio García Quintanilla quien amplió la colección con piezas de diversas iglesias y parroquias de la Arquidiócesis. La visita al museo incluye la capilla de la virgen de Guadalupe y la catedral Metropolitana.

    Not the best
    We arrived 20 min before they closed and instead to let us finish (like in many museums) they told us we had to leave because they were closing. Anyway the cathedral is nothing spectacular inside and is not possible to go in the tower.

    Upseted to have visitors
    The lady was not happy when we arrived. After collected the money of the tickets she advise us it was forbidden to take photos. She come along us and explain us general information in an automatic way... At least, in the end, she gave us the key of the WC.
