Introduction
The Catedral de Santiago is the main cathedral of Saltillo, begun in the 18th century and built from the region's distinctive pink stone, with a late-Baroque façade and twin towers. Its high nave, carved wooden pulpit and side chapels survive well, giving Coahuila's capital its most recognisable silhouette.
