Mexico City Metropolitan Cathedral Towers

The two bell towers of the Mexico City Metropolitan Cathedral reach 215 feet and contain 25 bells. The wires across the towers add a modern sense to old architecture.

The protesters’ tents in the square at the historic center of Mexico City add a different perspective to the Metropolitan Cathedral, which consists of two bell towers, a central dome, and three main portals.

The Metropolitan Cathedral of the Assumption of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven, also commonly called the Mexico City Metropolitan Cathedral, is the cathedral church of the Catholic Archdiocese of Mexico.

We will post images of this Cathedral from different angles.

Cross Top Bell on the Chapel

Here is an image of a bell and cross above the Chapel of Peace at Hart Square.

A steeple bell was first used as a community emergency alarm to call citizens together in case of fire, marauders, or bad weather. The cross symbolizes faith, hope, and charity, the three theological virtues of Christianity.
