The Basilica of Our Lady of Copacabana is a 17th-century Spanish colonial shrine that houses the statue of the Virgen de Copacabana.

The statue can be rotated; on weekends, it faces the church, and during the week, it can be seen in the Virgin's house on the first floor.

The Basilica of the Virgin of Candelaria in Copacabana has been an important symbol for the local population since its construction. It houses the image of the Brown Virgin, carved in wood in 1582 by Francisco Tito Yupanqui, grandson of the Inca Tupac Yupanki. Originally in Renaissance style, it has become Moorish due to the time it took to build it (over 60 years). An interesting element of the adaptation of the Catholic religion is the open-air chapel, built so that the Indians could attend the open-air worship service that was customary for them. The cathedral also has an adjoining room, the House of the Virgin, where she stays during the week, since Tito Yupanqui had asked that it be oriented towards the lake.
