Basílica de Ocotlán, Catholic basilica in Ocotlán, Mexico.
The Basilica de Ocotlán stands on a hilltop with a white stucco facade adorned by red tiles and intricate Churrigueresque decorations.
Construction of the religious complex began in 1670, following the reported appearance of the Virgin Mary to Juan Diego at this location in 1541.
The basilica houses a 148-centimeter pine statue of the Virgin of Ocotlán, which received canonical coronation from Pope Pius X in 1909.
Visitors can reach the basilica by walking two blocks north from the central square and following the uphill path toward the church complex.
The front facade incorporates figures of the Apostles, archangels, and saints, with a central star-shaped window displaying the Immaculate Conception.
