Old Basilica of Guadalupe, Monterrey, Catholic basilica in Colonia Independencia, Monterrey, Mexico.
The stone structure features four octagonal towers at its corners, fifteen vaults, and a dome decorated with yellow and blue Talavera tiles.
Bishop Francisco de Paula Verea y González ordered the construction of the initial church in 1867, which was later replaced by a larger structure in 1895.
The basilica maintains a central position in religious celebrations, particularly during the December 12 festival honoring the Virgin of Guadalupe.
The government extended public transportation access to the basilica in 1905 to accommodate the increasing number of visitors during yearly celebrations.
A four-manual Wurlitzer organ, installed in 1931, remains a distinguishing feature of this religious landmark in the Monterrey metropolitan area.
