Santuario de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, Catholic temple in Guadalajara, Mexico.
The Santuario de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe is a Catholic temple in Guadalajara with a Herreriana facade featuring two large semicircular buttresses. Its cross-shaped floor plan includes a central dome that was added during the late 1800s.
Construction began in 1777 under Bishop Antonio Alcalde y Barriga, who financed the sanctuary. The builders also created nearby houses to support poor residents in the northern area.
The main altar displays an original painting of Our Lady of Guadalupe by José de Alcíbar, surrounded by gilded wooden retables in neoclassical style. This artistic setting reflects the religious devotion that visitors experience when walking through the interior.
The sanctuary is located along Paseo Alcalde and can be reached on foot. The floor features decorative mosaic tiles beneath which burial spaces are situated, so visitors should move respectfully through the interior.
Instead of traditional bell towers, the sanctuary features two-tiered bell gables on its facade. This unusual design choice was a practical alternative that gave the building a distinctive look among other churches.
