caption_attribution_description: Español: Antes de la Catedral de Toluca, existió el Convento de la Asunción de María, el cual fue construido a mediados del siglo XVI por los Franciscanos para la evangelización. En 1867 el convento es demolido y el 12 de mayo del mismo año se coloca la primera piedra para la construcción de la actual Catedral. El desarrollo de la obra fue lento durante casi un siglo, pero es retomado en 1951. El primer Obispo de Toluca, Mons. Arturo Vélez Martínez, logra su consagración el 11 de abril de 1978. This is a photo of a monument in Mexico, identified by ID 05109
context_page_description: The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Toluca is a metropolitan archdiocese of the Catholic Church. Along with the Dioceses of Acapulco, Chilapa and Tacámbaro, it lost territory when the Diocese of Ciudad Altamirano was erected in 1964. It further lost territory in 1984 with the formation of the Diocese of Atlacomulco. On 26 November 2009, it lost territory again when Pope Benedict XVI created another suffragan diocese for the Archdiocese of Mexico, the Diocese of Tenancingo.
  On 28 September 2019, Pope Francis changed the status of the diocese to that of a metropolitan archdiocese and assigned to it three suffragant dioceses that until then were suffragans of the Archdiocese of Mexico: Atlacomulco, Tenancingo, and Cuernavaca.
