Cajamarca: Catedral de Santa Catalina

            The Catedral de Santa Catalina was originally planned as a parish church for the Spaniards in 1665, but in 1682 it was elevated to the rank of cathedral. Work was not completed until 1762. It features a stunning Baroque façade containing elements of native iconography that was carved out of volcanic rock. Of note is the rich plant ornamentation and of course the figures themselves who have native traits. Particularly interesting is the person with a feather head that is integrated into the pilaster.
