The church changed into known as "The Cathedral of The Americas" because it become constructed with cash from the trade among Spain and America.

The new cathedral changed into built from 1722 to 1838.
The first character who designed the church turned into architect Vicente Acero, who had also constructed the Granada Cathedral. Acero left the assignment and was succeeded by using several other architects. As a result, this in large part baroque-fashion cathedral became constructed over a length of 116 years, and, because of this drawn-out length of creation, the cathedral underwent several fundamental modifications to its unique layout. Though the cathedral become in the beginning meant to be a baroque edifice, it contains rococo factors, and become eventually finished within the neoclassical style. Its chapels have many art work and relics from the vintage cathedral and monasteries from at some stage in Spain.
