En esta ocasión, comparto mi visita a la Catedral de Cumaná. Se encuentra en el centro de la ciudad, cerca del Liceo Antonio José de Sucre, una de las instituciones educativas más importantes de la localidad y la primera construida durante la administración del entonces presidente Guzmán Blanco. La catedral destaca por sus torres rematadas con cruces y por un campanario cubierto de tejas. La sección central presenta una forma triangular y un símbolo o escultura que marca su transición de catedral sencilla a catedral metropolitana de la ciudad. Su diseño es llamativo: los muros son amarillos y azules, y la fachada cuenta con seis columnas y una cerca perimetral, además de una puerta de entrada de madera. Una vista más cercana permite apreciar las escalinatas, la cerca y a un lado, la mencionada institución educativa. A lo largo de los laterales se observan las numerosas ventanas del templo; aunque las superiores son más pequeñas, tanto las de arriba como las de abajo comparten el mismo diseño —forma semicircular con rejas blancas—, separadas por pequeñas franjas azules en relieve.
También cuenta con puertas laterales de forma semicircular, rematadas con una figura decorativa al igual que la entrada principal. Los laterales disponen asimismo de una cerca perimetral con rejas blancas, seguida de una sección que alberga el altar, la cual presenta un remate triangular y dos ventanas. Al caminar por la calle lateral, se pueden apreciar el muro perimetral, la torre y la estructura posterior donde se ubica el altar.
This time, I am sharing my visit to the Cumaná Cathedral. It is located in the city center, near the Antonio José de Sucre High School—one of the city's most important schools and the first built during the administration of then-President Guzmán Blanco. The cathedral stands out for its towers, which are topped with crosses, and a bell tower covered in roof tiles. The central section features a triangular shape and a symbol or sculpture marking its transition from a simple cathedral to the city's metropolitan cathedral. Its design is striking; the walls are yellow and blue, and the façade features six columns and a perimeter fence, with a wooden entrance door. A closer view reveals the steps, the fence, and—to one side—the aforementioned school. Along the sides, one can see the church's numerous windows; while the upper ones are smaller, both the upper and lower windows share the same design—a semicircular shape with white grilles—separated by small, raised blue bands.
It also features side doors that are semicircular in shape and topped with a decorative figure, just like the main entrance. The sides also have a perimeter fence with white grilles, followed by an altar section featuring a triangular top and two windows. Walking along the side street, one can observe the perimeter wall, the tower, and the rear structure where the altar is located.
