Catedral de La Rioja (La Rioja Cathedral)

It is a cathedral, a basilica, and the sanctuary of Saint Nicholas of Bari: an earthquake on October 27, 1894 destroyed the Matriz and San Nicolás Churches in the City of La Rioja. After this, it was declared by Bishop Fray Reginaldo Toro that a single temple was to be built in the same place where the Matriz Church used to be located, across the street from the main square. It was also decreed that this temple had to feature an image of the much worshiped patron saint “Saint Nicholas of Bari”.
