Basílica del Espíritu Santo

The Basilica features two 54-meter towers with a Romanesque architectural design incorporating Belgian granite pillars and French stained glass windows throughout the structure.

Construction began in 1890 as a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Guadalupe, owned by the Figueroa family, before expanding into the Holy Spirit Basilica in 1907.

The central apse contains religious symbols, a dove representing the Holy Spirit, and medallions depicting the seven sacraments alongside representations of Mary and twelve apostles.

The building extends 53 meters in length with a 20-meter-wide central nave, rising to an interior height of 18 meters with multiple altars for worship.

The entrance features a Calvary scene symbolizing the redemptive sacrifice, while archangel statues guard the narthex alongside holy water fonts.
