Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception

The Minor Basilica of  Immaculate Conception was completed in 1938 under the direction of Monsignor José Ismael Téllez, thanks to the efforts and collaboration of the local community. Its Greco-Roman architecture has earned it recognition as a historical patrimony of the department.

This temple serves not only a religious attraction but also a tourist reference for the inhabitants and visitors. Its construction began almost simultaneously with the founding of the town. Over the years, the church has undergone restorations, particularly after an earthquake in 1736, but it has kept its relevance as a symbol of faith for the people of Cauca. One notable recognition it has received is its consecration as a Minor Basilica.

*During this Jubilee Holy Year, the temple serves as a place of grace and forgiveness. Faithful visitors can receive a plenary indulgence, a spiritual gift that renews the soul and strengthens the faith.
