Fodor's Expert Review Catedral del Espíritu Santo/Catedral de los Altos

Quetzaltenango (Xelaju)

On the southeastern corner of Parque Centro América, this cathedral dates from 1535. All that remains of the original building (Espíritu Santo) is the facade, which features life-size saints that look down upon worshippers headed here to pray and is offset to the left of the newer cathedral (Los Altos), with its own front, constructed in 1899.
