释义 | Guadalupe, Basilica of church, Villa de Guadalupe Hidalgo, Mexico officially Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Spanish Basílica de Guadalupe, or Basílica de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe ![]() Each year, hundreds of thousands of pilgrims from all over the world come to the church, the holiest in Mexico, which was given the status of a basilica by Pope Pius X in 1904. The present church, or Old Basilica, was constructed on the site of an earlier 16th-century church and was finished in 1709. When this basilica became dangerous owing to the sinking of its foundations, a modern structure called the New Basilica was built nearby; the original image of the Virgin of Guadalupe is now housed in the New Basilica. Villa de Guadalupe Hidalgo itself was the site, on Feb. 2, 1848, of the signing of the treaty between the United States and Mexico that ended the Mexican War. |
