History
The Our Lady of Chiquinquirá Cathedral,
The current building is contemporary in design and replaced the previous Romanesque-Gothic style granite building,[3] which was demolished after a strong earthquake on July 30, 1962, caused it serious damage.[4]
To carry out the reconstruction of the new temple, the Pro-Cathedral Board was formed to manage the project, taking into account that the selected design was highly avant-garde and dissonant with the traditional environment of the town. One of the promoters of the board for the reconstruction of the temple was the journalist, writer, and merchant Néstor Botero Goldsworthy.[5]
