Shrine of the Virgin of the Cloud, Catholic shrine in Azogues, Ecuador.
The stone sanctuary stands on Abuga hill with a high altar featuring wood carvings adorned in gold leaf, housing the Virgin statue.
The construction of this religious edifice took place between 1912 and 1954, utilizing stone materials extracted from the surrounding Abuga hill.
The sanctuary holds two major annual celebrations on January 1 and May 31, drawing 40,000 participants for religious processions through Azogues.
The shrine maintains regular visiting hours and provides spiritual services with multiple priests available during major religious celebrations.
The sanctuary survived a significant earthquake in 1971 that damaged supporting walls, leading to extensive restoration efforts to preserve the structure.
