Luján, Religious pilgrimage site in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina
The Luján Basilica features two 106-meter towers, a copper roof, bronze doors, and houses a 38-centimeter statue of the Virgin Mary.
The city originated in 1630 when a statue of Virgin Mary became stuck during transport, leading to the establishment of a religious shrine.
The Enrique Udaondo Museum Complex displays colonial artifacts, antique vehicles, and historical prison cells where notable Argentine figures were detained.
The city receives more than six million annual visitors who can reach it by regular train and bus services from Buenos Aires, 68 kilometers away.
The basilica contains an organ created by French builder Cavaille-Coll and features a baroque lamp with 246 bulbs from Buenos Aires former opera house.
