San Ildefonso is the oldest Cathedral on the American Continent. It was built during the second half of the XVI century, and is exceptional for its monumental, austere architecture, softened by the graceful rise of its twin towers. Construction took more than 40 years and used, in addition to quarried rock, stones from destroyed Mayan temples. It was the first erected on American soil, and the figure of Christ in its interior is considered to be the largest indoor representation in the world.
