The Basilica of Our Lady of Candelaria or simply La Candelaria Church, as it is more popularly known, is a Roman Catholic church dedicated to the Virgin Mary under the title of Virgin of Candelaria. It is located in the center of the city of Medellín, Colombia, on the eastern side of Berrío Park. It is famous for being the oldest church in the city.

It was the church of the Archdiocese of Medellín from 1868 to 1931, when this title passed to the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception. It is a colonial building with a Neoclassical style. Its original structure built in stone and mortar has been patched over throughout its history with unrelated materials.

Guests' reviews

Está basílica está ubicada en el corazón de Medellín, frente al parque de berio, y la estación del metro con el mismo nombre, este sitio muy pintoresco, y de una hermosura encantadora, está basílica es tan resplandeciente qué encanta por las noches verla.
