Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Free entrance of course. It isn't a big cathedral but it is very nice to sightsee. You can also take a ride along the ciudad vieja.
Would be a very good idea to do this visit the same day of parque fundadora and paseo Santa Lucía.
Not a good idea for a rainy day.

I love the Arquitecture and the different signs that melt one on another from centuries back into what today you see on the front even though the stories tell It wasn't finished. The best kept secet is the chapel in it's left side is called El Sagrario de la Catedral, there is where you find the jewels!!!

I wouldn't go far out of my way to see this church. It is small but well kept. Worth a look if you see it a few blocks away.

Close to barrio antiguo, this church must be visited to understand the pride of the people from town, very nice place and open until late at night, always people coming in and out and food available in the close surroundings.

Its in downtown, of course..., and we were invited to a wedding, so the whole idea of being there with suits and long dress seemed strange, because we were with a temperature of 36 C degrees!!!... But what a surprise, it has AC!!!, and so good, that I even had to put a pashmina around my shoulders because I was cold.
The accustic wasn't great..., we couldn't understand what the priest was saying.... and we really tried, because this priest gave mass in a unsual style.
the place is nice, with a beautiful image (silver and gold?) with good light. But nothing else!. In México, our cathedrals have a lot of gold, and images..., this one is very plain, nice paintings, nice colours, but that's it. And I was surprised, because Monterrey is known as a wealthy city

It´s an old Catedral but it was built to be demolish when the "real"one were finished. The thing is that the real one was not even started, so this one became the Monterrey´s official Catedral. It has a huge lack of beauty, and honestly not good enough. But the Marco Museum next to it is a must in the city, so.. maybe after visiting the museum.. you can pray a little bit!

Monterrey is the third most important city in the country, but there are at least 30 more important cathedrals in Mexico. This one is very simple, very re-painted, with a narrow nave and a plain altar.

Since Monterrey only became the great city it is in the past 100 years the cathedral is not one of the great baroque or churrugesque type buildings that you will find in other old cities like Zacatecas, San Luis Potosí etc. The nice part is the little side chapel on the left which is older and prettier in my opinion

Very nicely built. Attended to a wedding, better than expected. If you are going to Monterrey, a visit is a must. Just across the Macroplaza.
