Vera Cruz Sanctuary

+53

18 reviews of Vera Cruz Sanctuary

5 holy cities

Caravaca de la Cruz was named by John Paul II as one of the 5 holy cities, thereby having the privilege of celebrating a jubilee every 7 years. It's a sanctuary for the miracle of the reappearance of a piece of the Cross of Christ in the 18th century, the reconquest of the Kingdom of Murcia by Alfonso X the Wise. The Sanctuary is in the Basilica of the Holy Cross, has a Latin cross plan and the front face of the building is made of local marble. It's one of the finest examples of Baroque Murcia and has therefore been named a National Historic-Artistic Monument.
