The passion of the city of Ponferrada and the entire Bierzo region for their patron saint has given rise to so much devotion and beauty in this place of meeting and prayer. The information and treasures found in different areas inside the basilica are a summary of splendors and difficult moments that did not stop the desire to gather all that legacy.
If you ever get the chance to visit, you are sure to enjoy its rich history and spiritual atmosphere! 🙏✨

On your tour of the city, I recommend that you visit the Basilica of Our Lady of the Encina. If it's open, take a few minutes to look at the magnificent vaulted ceiling and golden altar.

Lovely basilica in the Plaza Virgen de la Encina at the top of the hill behind the Templar castle
