This is Juarez Cathedral in Mexico. The fuzzy stuff around the building is netting, to keep the birds out.

"The Cathedral was also dedicated to the Virgin of Guadalupe, patron of the cities, and and has been seat of the Bishop of the Diocese since 1957. Begun in 1941-45, it was rebuilt between 1975 and 1977 after it was destroyed by fire. The original façade and 100 ft. towers remain. The rest of the building was completely transformed in an austere and sober style. On the south side is the stained glass window representing "The Grace of God in the salvation of Mexico through the Virgin of Guadalupe", as well as the miracle of the roses."

The Mission de Guadalupe is adjacent.

"Juarez is a large Mexican city located in the middle of the Chihuahuan Desert. While you are undoubtedly in Mexico, you are nowhere near the tropical Mexico with beautiful beaches and Aztec and Mayan culture many people expect. Juarez is home to the Mexican Vaquero (Cowboy) culture and you should be much more likely to encounter people resembling cowboys than any other vision of a Mexican one might have. However, Juarez is rich in the northern culture of Mexico, and most travellers will find this more charming and realistic than the culture they experience at many other locales that are not off the beaten path in Mexico."
