Virgen del Valle

The Virgin of the Valley (Spanish: Virgen del Valle or Nuestra Señora del Valle) is a Roman Catholic title of the Blessed Virgin Mary venerated in Margarita Island, Venezuela[1] and Catamarca, Argentina.

The Spanish conquerors brought the image of the Virgin Mary to Nueva Cádiz city in Cubagua Island.

It was designed by architect and town planner Luis Caravatti and constructed between 1859 and 1875 with a strong Neo-classical style.

In fact, he persuaded Justo Jose de Urquiza to make a donation of a sum of money for its construction.

Its facade has a big entrance hall which extends towards the sidewalk and two side towers almost forty meters high.
