"Visiting the Pope's Parish Up until recently, the Catedral Metropolitana was famous for a few things - the rococo altar, the Christ statue carved from algarrobo (carob) wood, the fact that it's the final resting place of the great South American liberator General Jose de San Martin. Lately the city cathedral has made headlines for something bigger - it's the parish of the former Archbishop of Buenos Aires , Jorge Mario Bergoglio, now known as Pope Francis, the first Latin American pope in history. Stop in to admire the beautiful baroque interior - and while you're here, picture the throngs of proud Argentinians who crowded into the nave on the day Bergoglio was chosen as the next pope."

A beautiful church with a Roman style facade, which is quite unique compared to many other famous churches around the world.

The Cathedral of Buenos Aires is an absolute highlight. It is the headquarters of the Catholic Church in Argentina and includes the Mausoleum of San Martin. Inside there are four beautiful organs that are still functional. What is striking is the wonderful mosaic floor that runs through the entire church. I found the warm colors particularly beautiful. Pope Francis was archbishop here before he became pope. The church invites you to linger.

Beautiful Church. Lovely to celebrate Mass there.

Most cathedrals I visited lack some personality. This one has that in abundance, plus a set of very interesting chapels to the left and right of the main part. Being of a very somber Lutheran denomination, where even plain white walls in a church are looked at as disturbing you in the practice of your faith, this catholic party of colour and gold was impressive! I really liked it. The current pope was an archbishop here...

Very Impressive but on review there was something extra in my photo when I zoomed in. If that is just an effect of the stained glass, impressive, but it looks like a figure larger than the Virgin Mary. Don't forget to look up once you finish visiting the guarded saint.

Gorgeous cathedral which has the mausoleum of San Martin. There are 4 beautiful organs inside which are still functional. Interesting to watch the change of guards ceremony. The guide said that the current pope, Francis was the Archbishop here, before he became the pope.

The cathedral is a must see if you visit Buenos Aires. It is extremely gorgeous and unlike other cathedrals throughout Latin America. It also has the tomb of San Martín, the liberator of Argentina and other parts of South America. I was lucky to stop by there while there was service being held and it was special.
