Sur la Plaza de Armas, qui est le centre névralgique de chaque ville péruvienne, se dresse la cathédrale. Celle de Cajamarca (Sierra nord) appartient à l'époque coloniale. - 1969

The construction of the imposing cathedral on Plaza San Martin in the Argentine city of Córdoba began in the 16th century. Its completion took over 200 years (until 1782) and went through several architectural eras, which are reflected in the different styles of the monumental cathedral. Like other monumental buildings from the colonial era that are well worth seeing, the Roman Catholic church is located directly on the central square of Córdoba, Plaza San Martin. The square is truly the center of the city, because all of Córdoba's house numbers are counted from its northwest corner. - 1973

The Sé Cathedral of Santa Catarina, known as the Sé Cathedral, in Old Goa (Goa Velha), India. The cathedral was built between 1562 and around 1651 in the Tuscan style and is laid out in the shape of a Latin cross with three naves. It originally had two towers, but the northern bell tower collapsed in 1776 and was never rebuilt, giving the façade its current asymmetrical appearance. Its tower houses the famous ‘Golden Bell’, considered one of the largest bells in the world. Today, the cathedral forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site ‘Churches and Monasteries of Goa’. - The tree in front of the church is a columnar araucaria. A fascinating characteristic of this species is that, outside its native habitat (New Caledonia), it almost always exhibits a distinctive tilt, which is genetically determined to lean towards the equator. – 1990
