The Basilica


Our Lady of Los Angeles Basliica is located southeast of San Jose in the old capital city of Cartago, Costa Rica and is one of the most visited sites in the Central Valley. Since being partially destroyed by an earthquake, the basilica, which was built in 1639, was restored and constitutes a unique mix of colonial and 19th century Byzantine architecture.

This Basilica is also home to Costa Rica's second largest pipe organ.
