The Basilica Catedral Santa Maria de la Encarnacion (otherwise labeled the Catedral Primeda de America, or just simply the Catedral) is the oldest cathedral in North America, depending on what the exact definition of "oldest" is. The cornerstone was laid in 1514, with construction proceeding grudgingly from 1520 onwards. The Catedral has a very eclectic design style with evolving Gothic, Romanesque, Baroque and other influences. The interior has a nice vaulted ceiling and fourteen chapels along the aisles. Be aware that shorts and other informal garb are generally frowned upon. There is a very peaceful courtyard adjacent to the south entrance. A series of peculiar howling wolf gargoyles guard the grounds along the east facade of the Catedral.
