Xalapa Cathedral or Catedral Metropolitana de la Immaculada Concepción de Xalapa is a Roman Catholic Cathedral in the city of Xalapa, Veracruz, in eastern Mexico. In English the name is Metropolitan Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. Originally built in a wooden construction in 1641, in 1772 the building underwent a massive change after a fire destroyed the original church. The church was reconstructed in masonry in the Baroque style. The bell tower is part of the original design. An English clock was added, and the church was consecrated in 1864. In 1896 the building had a remodeling, which is how it remains today. The tunnels under the building make a concern about the floor not supporting the total weight of the basilica. The remains of the 5th Bishop of Veracruz, blessed and now a saint, Rafael Guízar y Valencia were eventually brought here in 1950. His relics are in a special chapel in the parish house, which is now a museum.
