Basilica de Zapopan

Eva Briseño 152, Guadalajara, Mexico
Tel: +52 33 36330141
 

The Basilica of Zapopan is one of the oldest in Jalisco and is considered an architectural gem. Franciscan friars built the Doric colonial era basilica in 1690. It has Gothic vaulted ceilings, a Corinthian altar and an ornate Plateresque-style facade typical of the Spaniards. Honouring the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception, known today as the Virgen de Zapopan, every October 12th the Romeria de la Virgen de Zapopan religious festival unfolds here. On a curious note, during the Mexican Revolution the rank of General was bestowed upon three Jalisciense Virgins; being one allows her to preside over military as well as religious ceremonies.
