Basilica of Our Lady of Solitude, Baroque Catholic basilica in central Oaxaca de Juárez, Mexico.

The Basilica of Our Lady of Solitude is a Baroque church with a Latin-cross plan, built of green cantera stone and covered by two barrel vaults. An octagonal dome sheathed in azulejos tiles rises where the transept vaults meet the nave. The yellow-cantera west facade, set slightly forward of the bell towers, was built in 1717–1718 with three tiers and a screen-like design.

The basilica was built from 1682 to 1690 and consecrated on 6 September 1690 by Bishop Sariñana y Cuenca. The Baroque facade was added between 1717 and 1718. The low towers were a deliberate response to earthquakes that had ruined other Oaxaca buildings.

The image of Our Lady of Solitude, patroness of Oaxaca, is among the richest on the continent: her gold crown alone weighs 2 kg and holds 600 diamonds. Sailors once filled the shrine with pearls. The oil paintings covering the walls are counted as artworks of great value.

The basilica is located about six blocks from the main plaza on Avenida de la Independencia at number 107. It is open daily for visitors and maintains regular services throughout the week.

The west gallery holds a Baroque pipe organ dated 1686, restored to playing condition in 2000. Look up toward the gallery to spot it above the nave.
