A world famous landmark Downtown Review

The Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe Cathedral is a famous landmark of the Puerto Vallarta skyline. This church looks much older than it is. It was completed in 1951 and crowned with a unique steeple, which some say was modeled after Maximillian's wife Carlotta, who wore a crown with a similar design.

Whether or not this is true, Guadalupe Cathedral is one of the most photographed churches in Mexico. An English-language mass is held every Sunday (10:00 a.m.). Shorts and sleeveless T-shirts are prohibited inside the church.
