The Cathedral is located on the east side of Plaza de Bolívar. Its construction is of huge architectonic proportions, designed by the monk Domingo de Petres. The elegance of its neo-classical style can be appreciated in its high altar and the choir loft and pews, which date back to the 17th century. It was here that in 1538, the first mass, following the foundation of Bogotá, took place. This is also the burial place for Bogotá's founder, Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada.
