The cathedral is made in the Neo-Gothic style, it was built on a bridge in a mountainous area, and therefore it is amazingly beautiful. It is deservedly considered one of the 7 wonders of the described country. The location of the church was once thought to be haunted by evil spirits, but opinion about it changed when miracles began to happen. A feature of one of the main attractions is the presence of a rock icon, the dimensions of which are 3 by 2 m. First, a chapel was built next to it, then 2 temples, but even they could not accommodate everyone who wanted to pray. It was decided to connect the edges of the gorge with an arched bridge and build a church on it, which is now known as Las Lajas.
