stands as
an enduring memorial to Archbishop
Lamy, the "Bishop Latour of Willa Cather's famous
book. The cornersione was laid in 1869 on the site
first occupied by a church erected in 1622 by Friar
Alonso Benavides. Many famous paintings adorn the
interior, including one done in 1710 by Pascualo de
Veri.
The statue of Archbishop Lamy stands at the en-
trance of the Cathedral, which has been the seat of
a Holy See since 1875 and which grants special
privileges to communicants of the Roman Catholic
faith - not given in any other diocese in the United
States.
