The Saint Fructuosus Cathedral (Spanish: Catedral de San Fructuoso) is the main Roman Catholic church building of Tacuarembó, Uruguay. It is the see of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Tacuarembó since 1960.

History

The original church was established on 30 August 1834. Originally it was a very humble ranch with thatched roof.

The present temple, built in Romanesque Revival style, was consecrated in 1917. The clock is operational since 1930.

Declared a National Monument, this temple is dedicated to saint Fructuosus of Tarragona.
