Basilica of St. Teresa
Basilica of St. Teresa, Catholic cathedral in downtown Caracas, Venezuela
The religious complex consists of two neoclassical churches connected by a central dome positioned above the high altar at La Palma intersection.
President Antonio Guzman Blanco commissioned the construction in 1877 after demolishing the Church of San Felipe Neri, completing the project in 1881.
The basilica houses the venerated image of El Nazareno de San Pablo, which draws numerous worshippers each Wednesday for religious observances.
The cathedral maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors at Esquina La Palma Sur 2 y Sur 8, near Plaza Diego Ibarra in central Caracas.
The structure features dual dedications, with the western wing honoring Santa Ana and the eastern section dedicated to Santa Teresa.
