The Neoclassical basilica features a Latin cross layout, polychrome marble decorations, and a golden statue of Madonna atop its central dome.
Saint John Bosco initiated the construction in 1865 to provide spiritual guidance for disadvantaged youth, with the consecration ceremony taking place in June 1868.
