The Guadalajara Cathedral occupies an area that is 77.8 x 72.75 meters. It contains altars dedicated to
- Our Lady of the Assumption,
- Our Lady of Guadalupe,
- Our Lady of Sorrows,
- Our Lady of Zapopan (patron saint of Guadalajara),
- Saint Dominic,
- St. Nicholas,
- St. Thomas Aquinas,

The altar is made of marble and silver. The stained glass was imported from France.
Inside the cathedral are figures of many saints, eleven alters and it is also the final resting place for the recently assassinated Cardinal Posadas.
Outside the cathedral are stands filled with rosaries, figures of saints, prayer cards and you can even buy “milagros”. These small trinkets are made in the shape of body parts or animals.
If for example, you have prayed that your “tennis elbow” or painful knee is healed and it gets better, you can buy a small trinket in the shape of an arm to be placed in the cathedral certifying that you have been cured by a “milagro”
The Guadalajara Cathedral houses the remains of three cardinals and several other former bishops of the diocese.
