Selo's experience in Cajamarca
culture
St. Catherine Cathedral, Cajamarca
The Cathedral of Cajamarca was constructed between 1682 and 1762. The Spanish basilica plan was used, and the (still unfinished) facade, made from volcanic rock, was embellished with carvings of cherubs, birds, grapevines and pomegranates. The cathedral is one of the best examples of Peruvian baroque architecture. Inside are paintings of the Virgen del Carmen, Santa Rosa de Lima and San Martín de Porres and an altar decorated with gold leaf. #statue #architecture #art
