The Cathedral is officially called the Metropolitan Cathedral Basilica of Saint Catherine of Alexandria (Spanish: Catedral Basílica Metropolitana de Santa Catalina de Alejandría). Construction of the Cathedral began in 1577 but wasn't finished until 1612. (

The default photo was taken at 11:55 so the sundial is very accurate.
