About Catedral Nuestra Señora del Rosario
The Catedral Nuestra Señora del Rosario stands in front of the Plaza 20 de Febrero in Cafayate. The temple is the seat of the local prelature and is notable for its organization into five naves. The light-colored façade, with two towers and a sequence of entrances, marks the town center.
The late 19th-century construction belongs to the religious ensemble of the Valles Calchaquíes. The interior expands the reading of the façade, with the layout of the naves and their liturgical elements. Observing from the square allows you to see the whole building and perceive its relationship with the surrounding streets.
Since religious activities take place, check the possibility of entering and respect ongoing services. The visit is short for those already walking around the center, but it is worth viewing the complex from the outside and inside when access is allowed. The wine museum is in the same urban core and can be visited at another time of the itinerary.
