The Territorial Prelature of Bocas del Toro is a Catholic ecclesiastical territory that oversees parishes throughout the province. Its main church, the Cathedral of St. Joseph (Catedral de San José), is located in Bocas Town on Isla Colón. This simple yet charming wooden structure, painted in pastel colors, reflects the region's Caribbean architectural style. Visitors can attend mass or step inside to admire the serene interior.
