It is located on the street S.S. Francisco (formerly Monte Caseros) between Urquiza and 25 de Mayo streets, in front of the 1 de Mayo Square.
The building, in eclectic style, has two towers and a dome, three naves and at the entrance a statue of St. Peter. It was declared a national historic heritage, so it is one of the most recognized buildings among the city's inhabitants and a popular tourist attraction.
