The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption in Mexico City is a Catholic church on the north side of Constitution Square. It represents a unique combination of Renaissance, Baroque and Neoclassicism. Above the entrance to the cathedral is a high relief of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, and above the portal rises a clock tower, decorated with statues of Faith, Hope and Love.
The cathedral is 75 meters high, and its two 70-meter towers house 25 bells, the largest of which, dedicated to Virgin Mary of Guadalupe, weighs 13 tons.
Gilding, mother-of-pearl and ivory are used in the interior decoration of the temple. The carved choir of the end of the 18th century and two organs of the 18th century attract attention.
Bishops of Mexico were buried in the lower church of the cathedral in the 16th-17th centuries.
