The Immaculate Conception Cathedral[1] (Spanish: Catedral de la Inmaculada Concepción de María), also known as the Zamora de Hidalgo Cathedral,[2] is a Catholic religious building built in the first half of the 19th century by the famous Celayan architect Eduardo Tresguerras. It is located in the Michoacan city of Zamora de Hidalgo in Mexico.

It was built between 1832 and 1838.

In neoclassical style, it bears some resemblance to the Temple of Carmen in the city of Celaya (also made by Tresguerras).

It has a Latin cross plant[citation needed], and a single nave and cruise ship[citation needed], where the dome rises. The cover[citation needed] is of neoclassical style, with two bodies[citation needed] and auction[citation needed].
