About Catedral Basílica del Santísimo Salvador
The Catedral Basílica del Santísimo Salvador stands in front of Plaza Belgrano in San Salvador de Jujuy. The building preserves features of colonial architecture and combines the role of a historic monument with active religious use. Its façade of clear lines contrasts with the ornamentation found inside.
The carved wooden pulpit is one of the elements that distinguish a visit. The decoration allows observation of the artisanal work tied to the religious tradition of the region. The temple also takes part in the history of Argentine independence: the flag presented by Manuel Belgrano was blessed in the former mother church.
External observation fits within the walk around the plaza, but it is worth reserving a separate time for the interior when visits are permitted. Enter quietly, respect the prayer spaces and leave photography to the authorized areas. Check before going the conditions for viewing the nave and the temple's heritage.
