The Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Cathedral
Its parish archives date back to 1819 when the city was founded, at that time it belonged to Yagua and Guano. The original building was completed in 1833 during the
apostolic brief
"Actum praeclare".
The cathedral is part of the Historic Centre of Cienfuegos and, along with other historic buildings in the city center, was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2005, because of its outstanding Neoclassical architecture.[4][5]
