The Our Lady of Remedies Cathedral[1] (Spanish: Catedral de Nuestra Señora de los Remedios), also known as Riohacha Cathedral, is a cathedral of the Catholic Church consecrated to the Virgin of the Remedies.[2] It is the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Riohacha and, therefore, seat of the titular Bishop.
It is a colonial style building located on Second Street, 7-13 in the city of Riohacha, in the department of La Guajira, in the extreme north of the South American country of Colombia.[3]
It was built between 1835 and 1852. In 1906 the facade was rebuilt, preventing collapse of the walls and giving it a more artistic and marked style. The four marble altars were placed next to the main altar, above which a dome was raised.
