Built in the 16th century, the church was destroyed several times. The present structure dates from the beginning of the 19th century. The building houses a famous cross, the Santa Cruz de la Parra. It is said to be the only surviving cross of the 29 crosses that Christopher Columbus carried on his journey to the Americas. This cross is so popular that visitors had the annoying habit of taking a small piece of it... A metallic envelope protects it now.

La visite de l'église se résume souvent à découvrir à l'entrée à gauche la "croix de Christophe Colomb"

Visite interessante, pour l'interieur lumineux mais surtout pour la Croix de Colomb. L'exterieur de l'église a été restauré et c'est beau.
Attention à l'horaire d'ouverture (voir photo), c'est different de ce qu'on avait trouvé sur les guides.

Dans la basilique, on verra la croix de Christophe Colomb dont la statue orne l’entrée du parc le long de la plage.
