In 1818, during a strong earthquake, the towers and dome of the cathedral collapsed. They were rebuilt, but collapsed again during the next earthquake in 1849. The new towers were designed by architect Manuel Gomez Ibarra. And in connection with numerous changes in the architectural appearance of the cathedral, Gothic, Moorish, neoclassical architectural styles were mixed in it.
