I had the privilege of living in La Plata back in the fall of 1980 and again about a year later. I always cherished any chance to visit this building. Back then the cathedral was lacking the two main spires. From what I've read, they had to halt construction in the 1930s when it was discovered that the building was sinking and would not be able to hold the weight of the intended spires. I remember thinking back then how odd the building looked, unfinished, like a bull with its horns cut off. According to Wikipedia, it's the 58th largest church in the world.Anyway, it's also the site of one of the most memorable moments of my young life. At the age of 19 I was invited by a priest to play the pipe organ in this cathedral. I still shed a tear when I think about it; it was such an honor for me. Ironically I am not Catholic. As a young Mormon missionary, all I knew how to play were Mormon hymns,,.so that's what I did. Archbishop Plaza (bishop at the time) later learned of this and I'm told the poor priest, a mere seminarian at the time, was severely disciplined for having allowed me access to the organ. I think Plaza might have thought I was trying to make a mockery of the place. Quite the contrary; I loved that building, its architecture, its beauty, its serenity. The Bishop asked to meet with me but some of the priests who were my friends advised against it so I didn't. They said he was a horrible man. Trials held years later over the "desaparecidos" of the dirty war and his involvement in that proved them right, I guess.

I´ve seen the construction from the freeway and I´ve thought "it must be big". Plain and simple as I explain it: I was so wrong. It´s marvelous. It´s a cathedral worth seeing for anyone who ever had the chance to go and experience such an amazing building. If you are catholic, you´ll be worthless.

built to look like a european gothic cathedral, but only completed in past few decades. it is set at the end of a huge plaza. admission to the tower includes a small "museum" below the cathedral with a nice display on the construction of the cathedral. the stained glass windows are stunning! the elevator up into one of the towers is quick & easy, and the views are fantastic.

Visiting the Catedral doesn't need long, but the trip up the tower is definitely worth it! A great view and plenty of interesting history in the displays.

I've grown up with this cathedral, it's only in the last ten or twenty years that the two main towers were built. Visitors to Buenos Aires rarely see this little gem. If this was Europe the place would be full of coaches carrying tourists, here there are very few.It's a wonderful building built in the late 19th early 20th century mainly by italian craftsmen.There's a lift that takes you high up where you can, on a clear day, see the vastness of the surrounding countryside. The floor is granite, so shiny you'd think it is covered in water. Well worth spending a couple of hours to explore it.

It is a magnificent catedral. It is unique in its class.It has three distinct features:1. It is in front of a large plaza so you have many vantage points to look at it.2. Has a square plant rather than the traditional rectangular plant.3. It is elevated from the ground.The interior is astonishing.It doesn´t belong to the Church but to the Province of Buenos Aires.

Is a big curch, a great work of architecture. You can climbing one of its tower with elevator and see the entire city.

La Plata was founded at the ending of the nineteenth century with a new concept of city and following the renovated concepts of the Europeans capitals.Its cathedral, placed in the middle of the city followed the new gothic tendencies. It a superb example of this style. It was finished recently by the incorporation of the towers and the needles. From the top of it you may seee a wonderful sight of the city.

What a grand cathedral with an impressive entrance off of a nice public plaza which adds to the grandness of it all. Really enjoyed stumbling around and an easy trip from buenos aires (45 minutes by car without traffic).
