Fodor's Expert Review Catedral Metropolitana de Caracas
El Centro
Religious Building/Site/Shrine
With its original facade unaltered since it was built at the end of the 17th century, the Metropolitan Cathedral towers over Plaza Bolívar. The main altar is a magnificent Baroque creation gilded with more than 300 pounds of gold leaf. Don't miss the Bolívar family chapel on the right-hand side.
