The Cuernavaca Cathedral is the Roman Catholic Church of the Diocese of Cuernavaca, located inside the town of Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico. The church and its surrounding monastery is one of the early sixteenth century monasteries in the vicinity of the Popocatepetl volcano, constructed to start with for evangelization efforts of indigenous people after the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire.

By the 18th century, the church of the monastery started to function as the parish church of the metropolis and inside the overdue 19th century, it becomes accelerated to the rank of a cathedral. Unlike many cathedrals in Mexico, this one does not face the metropolis’s principal square, but rather is located just to the south, in its personal walled compound, which it stocks with some of other systems. Unlike the other monastery systems from its time, the significance of this church provoked some of upkeep initiatives, the final of which came about in 1957. This one took out the last older decorations of the interior and replaced them with simple current ones.
