Basilica of Our Lady of Luján

The Minor Basilica of Our Lady of Luján (Spanish: Basílica Menor de Nuestra Señora de Luján) is a Catholic church in Luján, Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is dedicated to Our Lady of Luján, the patron saint of Argentina, and is part of the Archdiocese of Mercedes-Luján, whose seat is located at the Cathedral Basilica of Mercedes-Luján in the neighboring city of Mercedes. Built in Neogothic style between 1890 and 1935, the basilica has been visited by various high-level Argentine leaders and officials, and one Catholic Pope. The basilica is central to the Our Lady of Luján pilgrimage, a nearly 150-year old annual pilgrimage to the church, which can be attended by up to thousands of pilgrims during its peak years.
