Experience the Ionic Architecture
The beautiful architectural Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe was started in 1903. Before that, Puerto Vallarta was known is a sleepy fishing village and not on even on the map. The walls and pillars are still the same as constructed at that time. Through the years like other Churches, it has magnificently grown and expanded. The following years the church experienced further expansion with a main bell and a central chapel being added. After each work phase was completed unique and different architecture styles materialized which results in this magnificent structure admired as a beautiful architecture and a treasure to the state.
Emblematic Dome and Crown – A Mesmerizing View
The crown beautified the dome after the completion. It is said to be the most important element of the building of the Church. Because of having many conflicts between state and the Church in 1926 the building faced many delays in its construction. This conflict is said to be called the Cristero War and ended in 1929. The construction started again and the building was completed in 1952. The structure was not ruly finished until the crown was added. This beautiful illustration was designed by the artist Jose Esteban Ramirez Guareno and the Priest Rafael Parra Castillo, which helped in finishing touch of the crown to the building.
The visibility of the crown can be seen from many miles away making the church even more spectacular and enchanting. Over the years there have been several changes in the alterations of the church which is witnessed in the ionic structure we see today.
In 1995 the destruction of the original crown occurred by a strong earthquarke in the neighboring state of Colima. A replacement crown was sculpted by Carlos Terres and that replica is now on the top of the Church. This spectacular church and crown are the heartbeat of Puerto Vallarta and photographed by countless photographers. Visiting the church is one of the best vacation spots in Mexico.
