Cathedral Basilica de Nuestra Senora de Los Angeles

The magnificent shrine devoted to the Virgen de Los Ángeles is called Nuestra Senora de Los Ángeles Basilica in Cartago. It's one of the most famous churches in Costa Rica. It's commonly known as La Negrita, patroness saint of the country. According to legend, a peasant of the name Juana Pereira found the virgin on a rock. Later on, the first basilica was placed in her honor. What's impressive is the shrine's Byzantine architectural style, which stands out in its remarkable façade. Furthermore, its large nave has the form of a double-cross and is protected by beautiful enormous columns.
