Virgen de Guadalupe Church Puerto Vallarta
In Mexico, the image of the Virgen de Guadalupe stands guard, watching over the people since her alleged appearance in 1531. While the most famous church is the enormous campus in Mexico City, Puerto Vallarta also has a church dedicated to Nuestra Senora. Much like other churches honoring Nuestra Senora, the one in Puerta Vallarta always has a great calendar of events to enjoy.
The church was originally built in 1903 at the site of another small chapel dedicated to Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe. However, conflicts, namely the Cristero War, halted construction. It wasn’t until 1929 that the church bells of the completed building were heard throughout Puerto Vallarta.
The church has withstood the test of time and has even bin hit by hurricanes and earthquakes. Unfortunately, in 1995, an earthquake shook much of the ornate crown from the top of the church. Still, the beauty of strength and persistence is evident in the withered,but strong, bricks and mortar. Last year efforts began to fund renovations for the crown which has become such a strong landmark in Puerto Vallarta.
