Argentina is a country with a strong Catholic heritage and tradition that originated during the territory’s time as a Spanish colony from the 16th to the 19th century.
Today, many Argentinians still belong to this Christian denomination, attending services in the country’s many beautiful cathedrals. Some of these date back to the period of Spanish colonization. If you find yourself visiting Argentina, here are three that you should definitely check out.
Catedral de La Plata
Located in the La Plata neighborhood of the Argentinian capital of Buenos Aires, the Catedral de La Plata is a Neogothic marvel. Constructed between the late 19th and early 20th century, the 318-foot tall cathedral is a marvel of engineering and one of the largest churches in the entire world.
Catedral de Salta
