Guadalajara Cathedral

On the north side of the Plaza de Armas, with its façade fronting the Plaza de los Laureles to the west (with its large fountain), stands the Cathedral and the Sagrario. Built between 1558 and 1616 and much altered in later periods, the Cathedral is basically Baroque but shows a remarkable mingling of different styles. In the chapels and the Sagrario hang pictures attributed to Cristóbal de Villalpando, Miguel Cabrera and Murillo. A painting ascribed to Murillo - the Assumption of the Virgin Mary - hangs over the doorway of the sacristy.

To the north it joins the Plaza de los Hombres with its columned rotunda erected in honour of some famous sons of Jalisco.
