Originally built in 1837, this National Monument features a distinct colonial-era bell tower, which is the only surviving portion of the primary structure. The building underwent several restorations before being consecrated in 1891, resulting in a blend of historic elements and preserved masonry.

The site served as a historical setting during the Thousand Days' War. The interior contains various pieces of religious imagery and traditional architectural details that have been maintained for over a century.

The cathedral functions as an active house of worship where weekly mass is celebrated. The building is open to the public for religious services and architectural observation.
