This immense baroque temple, located away from La Latina and therefore from the traditional tourist circuit, occupies, according to legend, the site of an ancient chapel built by Saint Francis of Assisi in the 13th century. It stands out for its paintings by Goya or Zurbarán and for its monumental dome. It is the largest in Spain and the fourth largest in Europe, after those of St Peter's Basilica and the Pantheon in Rome, and the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence.

Cette basilique est très belle à l'intérieur, c'est dommage que l'on ne puisse pas faire de photos

Très belle basilique qui est , hélas, un peu éloignée du centre ville, donc beaucoup de touristes ignorent son existence et c'est dommage ! elle a une des plus grandes coupoles au monde ! (33m de diamètre !) Peintures de Goya à l'intérieur
