The New Cathedral of Cuenca, officially the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, dominates the city skyline with its striking blue-and-white tiled domes. Completed in the 20th century, it is one of the largest cathedrals in South America. Visitors can admire the grand interior, which features three naves, stained-glass windows, and a marble altar. The cathedral's unique design includes a shortened central nave to accommodate the city's grid layout. Climbing the towers offers panoramic views of Cuenca's historic center.
