El Transparente: The Main Attraction

Inside, the audio guide offers a comprehensive tour of the cathedral’s art and architecture. One standout piece is “El Transparente,” located to the left of the entrance. This Baroque masterpiece, created by Narciso Tomé, is illuminated by natural light from the windows above. The artwork highlights the Virgin Mary and the child that occupies the altar, framed by golden bronze rays symbolizing glory, with angels and cherubs lining the edges.
