The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles was designed by Rafael Moneo for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. The infobox gives 2002 for both founded and completed. The text says groundbreaking was on September 21, 1997, construction began in October 1998 and it was dedicated on September 2, 2002.

The article calls the style Modern with deconstructivist elements. It names no main material but mentions bronze doors by Robert Graham and a steel frame supporting the organ. The nave is 333 feet (101 m) long, and the cathedral holds 3,000 people. It cost $189.7 million.

A chapel for a tilma relic was added in 2012. It is the mother church of the archdiocese and the seat of Archbishop José Horacio Gómez, and it includes a mausoleum and hosts concerts. The article gives no hours.
