Morelia Cathedral is a baroque cathedral and its two 70-metre towers dominate the skyline of the city of Morelia, Michoacán, Mexico. It is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Morelia.
Work began on the cathedral on 6 August 1660, and it was completed 84 years later, in 1744. On Saturday nights at 8 p.m., a spectacle including fireworks and music takes places. It is a wonderful view especially on the night of September 15 when the governor of Michoacan gives his annual Grito de Independencia.
