Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Socorro, Minor basilica in Retiro, Buenos Aires, Argentina
The Nuestra Señora del Socorro Basilica features neoclassical architecture with two towers, four Corinthian columns, and three naves with decorated side chapels.
Built in 1855 after demolishing the previous temple, the church received its minor basilica status from Pope Leo XIII in February 1898.
The main neo-baroque altar displays the image of Nuestra Señora del Socorro, accompanied by numerous religious symbols and decorative elements.
Located at Juncal 876 in Buenos Aires, the basilica operates the Hogar Albiseti night shelter for individuals experiencing housing insecurity.
The church houses the Lord of Miracles image, purchased from a street vendor, which was solemnly crowned at the Metropolitan Cathedral in 1903.
