Visit Santuario Nacional Nuestra Senora de Los Angeles to see one of Cartago's architectural gems. Built in 1924, it stands on the grounds of an earlier church destroyed in an earthquake. Legend has it that a little girl found a statue of Our Lady of the Angels on this site; the statue, however, kept disappearing and returning to the place where it was found. Today, the basilica still houses the treasured statue, kept in a golden shell. Admire the distinctive Byzantine architectural style of the basilica, a site of pilgrimage for millions of people each year. Don't miss a peek into the dramatic, cavernous interior.

Beautiful historic church with deeply rooted cultural value within Costa Rica.Spectacular architecture and amazing decor and artifacts housed within. An area outside contains runnin water that has been blessed and you can purchase container to collect outside the church grounds. Great place for devoted Catholics to visit for prayer, or to embrace the past.

A beautiful basilica with lovely architecture & a marvellous interior with high wooden ceiling & dome. A lovely place to spend some time in a place steeped in Costa Rican culture. Highly recommended.
