Santuario de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, Catholic temple in Guadalajara, Mexico.

The temple features a Herreriana facade with two large semicircular buttresses and a cross-shaped floor plan with a central dome added in the late 19th century.

Construction began on January 7, 1777, under Bishop Antonio Alcalde y Barriga, who funded both the temple and surrounding houses for underprivileged residents in the northern area.

The main altar displays an original 1779 painting of Our Lady of Guadalupe by José de Alcíbar, surrounded by gilded wooden retables in neoclassical style.

Located on Paseo Alcalde, the sanctuary contains 164 adult tombs and multiple children burial spaces beneath its mosaic floor tiles.

Instead of traditional bell towers, the sanctuary features two-tiered bell gables, creating a distinctive architectural element that sets it apart from other Mexican churches.
