Basílica Colegiata de Guanajuato, Minor basilica in Plaza de la Paz, Guanajuato City, Mexico.
The basilica features three entrances, a central dome, and multiple towers, including a Churrigueresque tower that stands against the mountain landscape.
The construction of this religious edifice began in 1671 with funds from local miners and required 25 years to complete its Baroque architecture.
The basilica houses a wooden statue of the Virgin Mary, given to Guanajuato by King Carlos I and Felipe II in 1557 as recognition for mining success.
The basilica maintains daily operating hours from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, providing free admission to visitors who want to explore its interior spaces.
