Basílica de la Mare de Déu del Lledó, Baroque sanctuary in Castelló de la Plana, Spain.

The Basilica features a central nave with side chapels, a prominent dome, and architectural elements from various design periods throughout its structure.

The temple's construction began in the 14th century, with major renovations extending into the 18th century, including the rebuilding of its collapsed dome in 1741.

The second Sunday of May marks the annual celebration honoring Our Lady of Lledó, the patron saint of Castelló, with religious ceremonies and festivities.

The basilica museum displays a collection of historical religious artifacts, including jewelry pieces and ornamental objects from different time periods.

The sanctuary originated from a farmer's discovery of a small Virgin Mary statue in 1366, which led to the establishment of this religious site.
