Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe, Mexico City

This Basilica is new compared to the temple next door, and they do have service plenty of times. The place is big and it was finished being built in the 70's and it remains to look this way. The place offers plenty of space to sit and stand. They have chapels in the second floor and plenty of doors to open the outdoors in. Here you can also visit the original image of the Virgin of Guadalupe. Pilgrimages are made to end at the basilica so if you visit, see the calendar of events so you may visit then or another time so you can avoid the large crowds. Thousands of people visit this place.

The tilma (cloak) of St. Juan Diego is a scientific, historical and artistic marvel as well as a religious treasure. It will leave a deep and lasting impression on all who visit this basilica. Whether you are Catholic, Protestant, or come from another faith tradition, as you learn more about this artifact you will come to understand why 20 million people every year visit this place. And the faith of the people of Mexico will not fail to touch you as well. Very inspiring and uplifting.
