Basílica del Santo Cristo de la Gracia, Minor basilica in Barquisimeto, Venezuela

The Basilica del Santo Cristo de la Gracia stands between streets 31 and 32 on Carrera 23, featuring Gothic architectural elements and a marble altar.

Construction of the basilica began on April 25, 1940, with Bishop Enrique María Dubuc blessing the first stone, and concluded in March 1955.

The basilica houses a 3-meter wooden carving of Christ and serves as a central point for religious celebrations in the Barquisimeto community.

The basilica received its minor basilica status in January 1994 through a decree from Pope John Paul II following a 1989 Vatican petition.

The interior contains mahogany wooden benches installed during the Passionist's silver jubilee celebrations in Barquisimeto in 1959.
