The Old Cathedral


The Spanish Cathedral. The structure is the largest and oldest house of worship in the town. The quaint Moorish Belfry with its four bells, which are set within separate niches, together with the clock, form a complete cross. Upon one of these bells appears the date 1682. This was taken from the ruins of the old chapel outside the city gates in which several priests were killed by the Indians, after which it was sacked and burned.
