Basilica Virgen del Valle, Margarita Island

4.6
#1 of 70 in Historic Sites in Venezuela
#Religious Site, #Tourist Spot
Small and delicate in stature, Basilica Virgen del Valle exudes a warm, welcoming atmosphere inside. With its white steeples and ornate interior, the church remains a site of pilgrimage, where people come to honor Our Lady of the Valley (as the Virgin Mary is known in eastern Venezuela). Apart from service times, you can enter and explore the decor. Dress modestly out of respect for local custom. Outside, browse the market for locally handmade goods, food, or flowers and candles to offer in the church. With our world travel planner, Margarita Island attractions like Basilica Virgen del Valle can be center stage of your vacation plans, and you can find out about other attractions like it, unlike it, near it, and miles away.

    Architecture is very cute and interesting history from after the Basilica which is also very picturesque... You can't miss to visit it.

    In one of the tours offered to us, we passed by this beautiful church and around her has a huge square where you can admire and buy local handicrafts, very religious products in honor of Santa, all beautiful and very colorful.

    Whenever we are going to the island we make a visit to the virgen del valle. The surroundings of the Church are a little careless and increasingly find less souvenir sellers

    I visited a few years ago with my family, truly beautiful and you felt the peace of Christ there. The story of the church is also inspiring

    Beautiful place to visit when one travels to the island. Well preserved and around there are several sellers with typical souvenirs. It breathes peace.

    It's the most symbolic Church of the island and is always maintained in good condition. Advisable in high season
