Built in the 1930s by Mexican artist Dionicio Rodríguez, the grotto's exact purpose remains somewhat vague. Was it a place of meditation, artistic expression, or religious reflection? Inside the cave, you'll find 10 intricately sculpted niches depicting scenes from the Old and New Testaments. It's like stepping into a living storybook!
