Frommer's Review

Anchoring the eastern end of Plaza Bolívar, this is the national cathedral. The present-day church was built between 1665 and 1713, after the original building was destroyed in the 1641 earthquake. It's home to the private Bolívar family chapel and features a painting by Rubens. Adjoining the cathedral is the Museo Sacro de Caracas, which has a modest collection of religious art and sculpture, as well as colonial-era dress and relics and a delightful little cafe.
