The Our Lady of Guadalupe Cathedral[1] (Spanish: Catedral de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe de Ciudad Juárez), also Ciudad Juárez Cathedral,[2] is a Catholic cathedral church dedicated to the Virgin of Guadalupe that is located in Ciudad Juárez in the border state of Chihuahua,[3] in Mexico, in the area called Historical Center.
The first church of the area, still preserved, was erected by the order of the Franciscans who began to Christianize the natives.
The place took on importance as the capital of the province of New Mexico from 1681 to 1693 after the Pueblo Indian uprising of 1680.
With the growth of the city in the twentieth century, at the initiative of Father Baudelio Pelayo the new cathedral was built attached to the old church.
Completed the construction in the year of 1957, was designated the Diocese of Ciudad Juárez.
