The Basilica-Cathedral of Our Lady of the Pillar
It is a Roman Catholic church in the city centre of Zaragoza.The Basilica venerates Blessed Virgin Mary, under her title Our Lady of the Pillar.It is reputed to be the first church dedicated to Mary in history.According to ancient local tradition, soon after the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, St.James was preaching in Spain. While he was deep in prayer by the banks of the Ebro, the mother of God appeared to him and gave him a small wooden statue of herself and a column of jasper and instructed him to build a church in her honor.
About a year after the apparition, James arranged to build a small chapel in Mary’s honour. This first chapel was eventually destroyed , but the statue and the pillar stayed intact under the protection of people of Zaragoza.The tiny chapel later gave way to a Basilica; subsequently being transformed into Romanesque, them Gothic then Mudejar styles.
The present church is in Baroque style. In 1725, it was decided to change the aspect of the Holy Chapel. The building was transformed into its present dimensions of 130 meters long by 67 wide, with its eleven cupolas and four towers. Around the Holy Chapel are the vaults or domes painted by Goya.During the Spanish Civil War, theree bombs were dropped on the church and none of them exploded. Two of them are still shown in the Basilica.
