It is a symbol of Manizales and the tallest Neo-Gothic cathedral in the Americas (1928–1939). It survived fires and earthquakes. Its towers offer unique views of the Coffee Region and the Nevados. It has been cultural heritage since 1984.

Clear mornings (8:00 am to 11:00 am) for panoramic views from the towers. Avoid Sunday Masses (10:00 am and 12:00 pm) if you are looking for quiet. Afternoons are cooler because of its elevation (2,150 m above sea level).
