This cathedral, known initially as Matriz Cathedral, was built on land donated by remarkable neighbors. Its construction began on March 18, 1799 ending March 18, 1831. By bull of Pope Pius XII it was elevated to Cathedral Church in 1955 thus surpassing another remarkable huancaína church, the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception. It is consecrated to the Holy Trinity, to whom the city of Huancayo was dedicated in 1572.
