Designed by architect Pedro Ramírez Vázquez, this modern structure holds more than 10,000 people and a circular shape that allows you to see the image of the Virgin from any point. Here you can get closer to the original image of the Virgin of Guadalupe, which is suspended on the main altar. A mobile walkway will allow you to see it without stopping the flow of visitors. This is the most emotional time for many visitors. A moment of prayer, reflection or simply contemplation in silence is allowed.
