Sucre is deeply rooted in the Roman Catholic faith having many churches in the city and the Metropolitan Cathedral is one that stands out above all the rest. Its tower is very impressive and can be seen from many vantage points. There are working clocks on top and the bells rang early every morning! It is across from the main square. We were fortunate to be there one morning when a mass was being said and were able to go inside. It's beautiful and worth a visit.
