hello, my name is Fernando and i hope you are enjoying your stay in our city which at this time it is also your city and you can go back whenever you want.
well in this part we are going to go a little quickly because there is a mass.
in the end of the build of this cathedral as my parent said it was in eighteen forty four, that include the interior decoration and the altars.

Mathew Nuñez was an architect who proposed to reconstruction the body with vaults.
in  seventeen twenty one Jose de la Cruz was responsible for the building of the sacristy. in the middle of the eighteenth century the lateral vaults and the largest dome were built, we can see the byzantine ornamentation over there.


There were churrigueresque golden retables used to decorate the altars of this cathedral but between eighteen forty one and eighteen forty four serious changes happened here.
over there behind the main altar below ground there are the bodies of the principal bishops of this cathedral since the eighteenth century.

the chorus was placed behind the high altar. It dates from 1687 sixteen eighteen seven  and is from Guatemala some says it is from Filipinas and others from Guatemala.
here around us, there were altars made of wood with baroque style but they were removed in the colonial times due the neoclassical movement.
we have the main altar with neoclassical style and we can see the awesome figure brought by the eighteenth century of the immaculate conception which is carved in wood, ornamented, polychrome, and engraved with leaf gold foil, in the bottom of the world is appreciated.

If you look at the bottom on the sides you will see two beautiful pipe organs, of the left was built in Puebla in the eighteenth century while the opposite is the nineteenth century from Sevilla Spain considered the second largest in Mexico according to experts.

And the chapel we see at the side, this beatifuliol painting dedicated of the virgin of guadalupe made in the eighteenth century by andres lopez.

we can see the chapel dedicated to who is the patron saint of our city since 1749 seveteen forty nine who protects us from the deadly sting of the scorpions, saint George is celebrated on the  April  23th since 1865 eighteensixty five. and well if there are someone that the Spanish it is not your mother tongue it is a moment to practise because you are going to help me to pray.

Señor San Jorge bendito

por tu Gloria celestial

y tu poder especial,

 líbranos de todo mal,

de sabandijas y víboras

de todo bicho rabioso,

de piquetes de alacrán

y de animal ponzoñoso

y de pecado mortal.
