Basílica de la Inmaculada Concepción

Basílica de la Inmaculada Concepción, Gothic Revival cathedral in Jardín, Colombia.

The Basílica de la Inmaculada Concepción features 128 stained glass windows, 32 capitals, and arches covered in 18-karat gold throughout its 1,680 square meters.

The construction of this religious edifice began on March 20, 1918, using hand-carved stones from local quarries and was completed in 1940 under architect Ángel José Botero.

The basilica received its elevated status from Pope John Paul II in 2003, becoming the twenty-fourth Colombian church to obtain this distinguished recognition.

The cathedral holds multiple daily masses, with Sunday services scheduled eight times throughout the day, starting at 5:00 AM and ending at 6:30 PM.

The interior features sculptures and decorative elements crafted from Carrara marble, including a statue of Saint John the Baptist and guardian angels.
