The Basilica de Nuestra Senora de Zapopan is a stunning Franciscan church located in the municipality of Zapopan, part of the Guadalajara metropolitan area. Built in the 17th century, it is one of Mexico's most important religious sites, housing the revered image of the Virgin of Zapopan (Our Lady of Zapopan). The basilica's architecture is a blend of Baroque and Neoclassical styles, with a striking yellow and white facade and a richly decorated interior featuring gilded altars and religious art. The courtyard is a peaceful oasis with fountains and gardens.
