Catedral Metropolitana picture photo copyrighted by: VICTOR OVIES The Metropolitan Cathedral is one of the most important historical buildings in Mexico City. Construction was started at the beginning of the eighteenth century and continued throughout the next 300 years. This is why different influences can
be detected in the architectural style, dominated by Spanish Renaissance and French
Neo-classicism, along with a Baroque-touch to the rose sandstone roof. The çathedral's five aisles are adorned with ornate altars and elaborate engravings,
and its floors are made of marble.
