Sanctuary of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Iglesia de los Jarritos

This peculiar neogothic church is inspired by the Lourdes basilica in France. Although its official name is Sanctuary of Our Lady of Guadalupe, it’s better known as Iglesia de los Jarritos, literally “the church of the jugs” because the tower is decorated with small clay jugs. A stylized cemetery serves as atrium, making one pass crosses and tombs to reach the entrance to the 19th-century church.
