Sanctuary of Christ of Jose, Catholic sanctuary in Barcelona, Venezuela.
The Sanctuary of Christ of Jose is a pilgrimage site in Barcelona, Venezuela, featuring a distinctive metallic bronze dome above an open structure. The building has no enclosed walls and is surrounded by gardens and parking areas.
The sanctuary began as a private initiative in the early 1990s near the Cryogenic of Jose highway. Its notable Christ figure was erected in 1994 and has defined the site ever since.
