Holy Chapel of Our Lady of Pillar, Baroque chapel in Zaragoza, Spain
The Holy Chapel of Our Lady of Pillar stands within the Basilica, featuring jasper columns and elaborate decorative elements by architect Ventura Rodriguez.
Construction of the chapel began in 1725 as part of the larger basilica complex, representing an evolution from earlier medieval structures at this sacred site.
The chapel houses a wooden statue of Virgin Mary upon a jasper column, drawing Catholic pilgrims who seek blessings throughout the year.
Visitors can access the chapel through the basilica's main entrance, though photography inside requires special permission from church authorities.
Four oval-shaped openings in the chapel's dome allow natural light to illuminate the central altar space through carefully positioned architectural elements.
