Mazatlán's Cathedral is a Must See for Visitors

MAZATLÁN, Mexico, March 21, 2016 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Now restored to its original state of spectacular beauty, Mazatlán's Immaculate Conception Cathedral is one of the focal points of the city's cultural landscape, according to Premier Resort Vacations. Completed in 1899, the striking landmark was more than 40 years in the making. The towering dual spires reach into the sky above Mazatlán's horizon like a heavenly hand pointing toward the other world.

The team at Premier Resort Vacations notes that the unique facility was the brainchild of a church official back in 1856, but a questionable historical period led to four decades of construction delays. Finally, just before the dawn of the Twentieth Century, the building opened its doors. That was in 1899, but 38 years later the Vatican officially designated Immaculate Conception as an official Basilica.

Architecturally, the cathedral is a one-of-a-kind example of Renaissance and Gothic construction that features gaping domes and arches that are gilded to create a sacred ambiance. All interior light is filtered through a group of priceless stained-glass windows.

Topping off an almost unbelievable list of superlatives, the cathedral houses an organ that was built by one of the world's greatest instrument technicians of the 1800's, Aristide Cavaille-Coll. Premier Resort Vacations highly recommends a visit to the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception for anyone who visits Mazatlán.

The majestic structure is located right in the middle of town and contains no fewer than 14 sculptures. The building takes up an entire city block in the heart of Mazatlán's downtown. Situated directly across the street from the Plazuela República and a block away from the famous Pino Suárez market, the Basilica is about a minute's walk from the city hall building. According to Premier Resort Vacations, the cathedral is without a doubt the most beautiful in Northwestern Mexico.

The building features a trio of naves, each of which is accompanied by a very large altar. The gigantic chandelier, as well as all the hanging lighting, was installed in 1950 during a mini-renovation. One of the most enduring legends about the cathedral is about its unique musical instrument. According to Premier Resort Vacations, local lore recalls that the organ was first played in the year 1899, and the event was a major local happening as churchgoers gathered round to hear the inaugural tunes.

Whether staying for a day, a week, a month, or longer, Premier Resort Vacations encourages every visitor to Mazatlán to stop in to the Immaculate Conception Cathedral and witness a piece of living history.
