Lonely Planet review for Cathedral
This church faces the Plaza de Armas. It is often imaginatively illuminated in the evenings, especially on weekends. It is a squat building that was begun in the late 17th century and only recently finished. Like most of Cajamarca’s churches, this cathedral has no belfry. This is because the Spanish Crown levied a tax on finished churches and so the belfries were not built, leaving the church unfinished and thereby avoiding the tax.
