Architecture: Baroque

Construction on Puebla Cathedral began around 1535 under the patronage of the Bishop of Tlaxcala, but a few decades later, the plan for the cathedral was changed to a larger and more elaborate building. Designed by by architect Francisco Becerra, the new project began in 1575.
After a few more decades of construction, the money ran out. The project came to a halt in 1626, but not for long. In 1634, the master architect of Mexico City Cathedral, by architect Francisco Becerra, amended the plans for Puebla Cathedral yet again. His design gave it a more basilical appearance and incorporated the Neoclassical style.
