San Cristóbal de Las Casas - Cathedral of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción

 
San Cristóbal has many churches, of which only a few are of importance however. Building of the Cathedral of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción on the Zócalo (Plaza 31 de Marzo) began in 1528 and it has since been altered and redecorated several times. Inside there are several 17th-19th c. Baroque altars, paintings and sculptures, including a picture of Mary Magdalene by Miguel Cabrera, and the principal picture of the Altar del Perdón by Juan Correa. Also noteworthy are the wood carvings; particularly attractive ones decorate the pulpit.
