The Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City, Mexico, is one of the most important religious sites in the country and a major pilgrimage destination for Catholics worldwide. It is dedicated to Our Lady of Guadalupe, the patroness of the Americas, who is believed to have appeared to the indigenous peasant Juan Diego in 1531. The current basilica, with its modern circular design and large capacity, was completed in 1976 to accommodate the millions of visitors who come annually. The site also includes the original basilica, now referred to as the Old Basilica, which dates back to the 18th century.
