The Las Lajas Cathedral is located in southern Colombia inside the canyon of the Guáitara River. It was built between 1916 and 1949 in Gothic revival architecture style, replacing an older 19th century chapel. The church was created because in 1754, an indigenous woman and her deaf-mute daughter took shelter during a storm and saw a vision of the Virgin Mary illuminated on the flat sedimentary rock known as lajas. It is now a basilica and destination for Catholic pilgrimages due to the miraculous apparition.
