It was the tallest building in Colombia for 33 years, from 1936 to 1969. It is one of three neogothic religious architectural jewels of Manizales, along with the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception and the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (Los Agustinos). The cathedral is a National Monument of Colombia (declared in 1984) and was elevated to the rank of minor basilica by Pope Pius XII in 1951.
