medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture The basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe is located in Mexico City, in the northern neighbourhood of Villa de Guadalupe Hidalgo. The present church was dedicated in 1976, replacing the 16c one (completed in 1709). The image is full figure.
