Beautiful colonial cathedral with plenty of bright Spanish colors and Spanish tiles. There is an option to go to the top which we definitely recommend. You are able to see the whole plaza from a birds eye view.

For $1, you literally have no excuse not to visit the top of the cathedral. The views are excellent and you'll end up getting some great overall pics of the city. The cathedral itself is beautiful so I strongly recommend visiting!

Great spot for photos and sight seeing to learn more of the cities history. If you’re catholic they have a dating service available too oddly enough.

I've visited lots of churches in Masaya. Also in Catarina, León and Estelí. There is no church like this.
