Its main temple, with Romanesque features, imposing in front of 25 de Mayo Square, is one of the main examples of the reconstruction of the city after the earthquake that destroyed it in 1944. The San Juan Cathedral was inaugurated on December 16, 1979. and its design is a project by architect Daniel Ramos Correas.
