The cathedral archiepiscopal see is at the Cathedral of the Transfiguration, a minor World Heritage Site, in the city of Morelia, capital of Michoacán state. It also has a Minor Basilica: Basílica de Nuestra Señora de la Salud, in Pátzcuaro, Michoacán de Ocampo. == History == * It was established on 11 August 1536 as Diocese of Michoacán, on territory split off from the then Diocese of México. * It lost territory repeatedly: on 1548.07.13 to establish the then Diocese of Guadalajara, on 1777.12.15 to establish the Diocese of Linares and on 1854.08.31 to establish the Diocese of San Luis Potosí. * It was raised to the rank of Metropolitan Archdiocese of Michoacán by Pope Pius IX on 26 January 1863, having lost territory to establish the Diocese of León and the Diocese of Querétaro. * It lost territory again on 1863.03.16 to establish the Diocese of Chilapa and on 1913.07.26 to establish the Diocese of Tacámbaro * It was renamed Metropolitan Archdiocese of Morelia after its see on 22 November 1924. * It lost territory again on 1973.10.13 to establish the Diocese of Celaya and on 2004 to establish the Diocese of Irapuato * In January 2015, Pope Francis created Morelia's archbishop, Alberto Suárez Inda, the archdiocese's first Cardinal.
