Iglesia Catedral San Fernando Rey

Resistencia's plain modernist cathedral on Plaza 25 de Mayo

Address Plaza 25 de Mayo, Resistencia

The Catedral San Fernando Rey is the modest cathedral of Resistencia, facing the Plaza 25 de Mayo. Built in the 1960s in a plain modernist style, it replaced an earlier 19th-century church and sits at the heart of the diocese of Resistencia.

The exterior is unremarkable, the interior cool and quiet. Worth a look in passing for the contrast between the contemporary architecture and the more decorative 19th-century buildings around the square.
