The main cathedral of Guadalajara as well as the central square are located in the centre of Guadalajara. If you look at Guadalajara on maps… it will probably not be immediately clear what is meant by ‘centre of Guadalajara’. Simply because the sights in Guadalajara are somewhat spread out – including the cathedrals. For example, I initially thought that another one was Guadalajara’s main cathedral and wondered why it was so far away from what felt like everything else. The main cathedral, however, is close to a lot of other sights and you notice that immediately when you stroll through the centre. There are several other sights nearby, the old town and so on and so forth.
Coming to the cathedral itself: It is beautiful and the square on which it stands has quite a nice fountain. There’s not much more to say here. Simply because… Guadalajara is not the most attractive city in Mexico for tourists per se. And you can see that in the centre too. Not that it’s not beautiful, just…. It’s just that everything is very spread out and doesn’t feel so super special.
Go or not? If you’re in Guadalajara, yes. Simply because the cathedral is close to a few other cool sights 😊
