Basílica Menor de la Inmaculada Concepción

The Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception serves as the seat of the Archdiocese of Mérida, located in the Venezuelan Andean city of the same name. Its title of Basilica minor is a papal honorary designation reflecting its liturgical importance within the Catholic Church. The cathedral is dedicated to the Immaculate Conception of Mary, a devotion with deep roots across Andean Latin America. Detailed records of its architectural history and construction period are not readily available; it functions today as an active place of worship at the city's center.
