The Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar, a whitewashed colonial church constructed by Franciscans in 1732, stands adjacent to the renowned Recoleta Cemetery in Buenos Aires. This historic site features six baroque altars, one of which is adorned with Incan ornamentation and engraved silver from Peru. Today, the basilica remains a popular venue for weddings among the city’s elite and attracts visitors who come to admire its intricate and culturally rich interior.
