On one of the historic streets of the city, you can see the beautiful Cathedral of St. Francis of Assisi. It was built in the 19th century and is the city's tallest building from the moment of its completion. The architectural design of the cathedral is a mixture of different styles, typical for both European countries and the countries of South America. Several interesting monuments are situated around. Carved images on the entrance doors of the cathedral are a real work of art. Magnificent interior decoration will make you astonished, as well. Colorful stained-glass windows, high columns, and art paintings on the walls and ceiling have been preserved there.
