This baroque-style cathedral is not particularly impressive, but worth a look if you've got time and your Latin American travels haven't left you completely churched-out. The stained-glass images along the sides are worth a look, as are the frescoes around the altar. The distance between this Iglesia los Dolores and Iglesia Calvario is meant to be equal to the length Jesus traveled with his cross. Several masses a day are celebrated here, but don't go to one if you're not appropriately dressed.
