The image displays a low-angle, exterior view of the Catedral de Maracay in Maracay, Venezuela, under a clear, bright blue sky with intense sunlight causing a lens flare in the upper right quadrant. The building's facade is primarily pale yellow or cream, accentuated with prominent white architectural trim, including pilasters and cornices detailed with thin gold lines. The main facade, on the left, features a decorative, curvilinear pediment at its apex, housing three niches; the two outer niches contain small golden statues. A slender, dark blue spire-like element crowns the peak. Below, two rectangular windows are visible, fitted with patterned blue-toned stained glass; the left window shows geometric designs, while the right displays a central cross motif. Two dark rectangular plaques are mounted vertically on the wall below the left stained glass window. To the right of the main facade, a tall, square bell tower rises, matching the main building's color scheme. The tower is topped by a blue dome and features at least two visible clock faces with dark blue numerals on a white background, indicating a time around 1:35. Below the clock face, an arched opening reveals a dark bell hanging within. On the ground level, a large, dark rectangular entrance is visible below the right stained glass window. Inside this doorway, partially obscured by shadows and reflections, a figure in a light-colored shirt is discernible standing near the right side of the opening. Palm fronds or similar greenery hang within the entranceway.
