The cathedral occupies the north side of the Moyobamba Plaza de Armas, in Jirón Callao, on the corner of Pedro Canga. It formerly occupied the north-east side of the square, but was relocated after the city was struck by an earthquake. A monument dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus was erected on the site of the old cathedral.
