Our Lady Of Guadalupe Parish / Church / Cathedral in Puerto Vallarta
Puerto Vallarta's Parish Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe - - is a city icon, it dominates Vallarta's downtown skyline and is one of the favorite symbols and landmarks of the city, both in photos, shirts, logos and postcards.
If you've been to Vallarta, you have surely visited it, if you are to visit the city, add it to your list of things to do in town, it not only is great for your souvenir photos, you'll get a glimpse of one of the most important monuments of the city and the spiritual center of the Catholics in town (religion in Vallarta).
There's always activity around and within the church, the church bells are rung by the sextants 30 and 15 minutes prior to each service, but it reaches almost a level of frenzy in the 12 days of Our Lady of Guadalupe Festival (also known as Feast of Guadalupe), held every year from December 1st to the 12th.
During these festivities you'll notice a mix of both traditional Christian and Aztec motifs, young warriors dance in the streets, processions advance through the streets and include lots of banners, music, singing, and colorfully decorated floats mainly with scenes that include the Virgin and Juan Diego, commemorating the miraculous apparition of the Virgin of Guadalupe to the indian peasant called Juan Diego on December 12th, 1531. These festivities are attended by tens of thousands, locals and visitors.
Like any town in the lands that were part of the Spanish conquest of America, you'll find a church, that is always placed by the main square in the village or town, many are out of proportion with the size of the city or town, others are very simple, with almost nothing more than an altar.
The foundations of the church were started in 1903, but at the time there was already a small chapel there dedicated to Virgin Guadalupe. In 1915 father Francisco Ayala arrived and he, with foresight, suggested that a bigger temple than the one that had been designed, be built instead.
The existing foundations were strengthened and finished by 1917, including the main pillars and walls. Construction really started in the early 1920s around the still functioning chapel, including the blessing of the eucaristía, the main bell. The official start date, celebrated at the church each year with a mass, is October 12, 1921.
To crown the Parish, what better than a crown. It was placed on the main tower in 1965 (based on the city historian, Carlos Munguía Fregoso) and was sketched by the priest Rafael Parra Castillo, the same person who designed the tower. The original crown was designed and sculpted by José Esteban Ramírez Guareño in 1965.
The crown IS NOT, as normally found online, a replica of one supposedly worn by Carlota, the mistress of Emperor Maximilian in the 1800's, which - as explained on the Parish website - would only have been a tiara based on her hierarchy within the nobility.
Under father Ramirez's supervision, both the front side and lateral towers were finally finished in 1987 and what we know as the Our Lady of Guadalupe church was finally ready.
The church itself, not a cathedral, as many name it (it's not presided by a Bishop), is not really a sophisticated architectural design, it's a mix of styles that is result of the different parish priests' tastes and ideas that appeared along the way, elements are neoclassic, like the main building, the crown is reminiscent of baroque European temples, the side towers have a renaissance touch, and so on.
The end result is surprisingly appealing and certainly makes for a beautiful landmark in Puerto Vallarta.
The original crown on the church was damaged by weather and erosion and was restored in 1981. On October 9th, 1995 it fell off and was destroyed by a strong earthquake in Colima.
It was replaced with a temporary fiberglass model and since then has been replaced with a crown sculptured by the famous Jaliscan artist, Carlos Terres, read more about the crown itself.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - Sailing off the Coast of Mexico HD (2014)
Puerto Vallarta is a Mexican beach resort city situated on the Pacific Ocean's Bahía de Banderas. The 2010 census reported Puerto Vallarta's population as 255,725 making it the second largest city in the state of Jalisco. The City of Puerto Vallarta is the government seat of the Municipality of Puerto Vallarta which comprises the city as well as population centers outside of the city extending from Boca de Tomatlán to the Nayarit border (the Ameca River).
The city is located at 20°40′N 105°16′W. The municipality has an area of 502.19 square miles (1,300.7 km2). To the north it borders the southwest part of the state of Nayarit. To the east it borders the municipality of Mascota and San Sebastián del Oeste, and to the south it borders the municipalities of Talpa de Allende and Cabo Corriente.
Puerto Vallarta is named after Ignacio Vallarta, a former governor of Jalisco. In Spanish, Puerto Vallarta is frequently shortened to Vallarta, while English speakers call the city P.V. for short. In internet shorthand the city is often referred to as PVR, after the International Air Transport Association airport code for its Gustavo Diaz Ordaz International Airport.
