ASUNCION CATHEDRAL Considered the most important religious construction of the city, the cathedral is a "must-visit." Construction on this majestic structure was initiated in 1877 and, since then, it has become an icon. The Zaragoza plaza where the cathedral is located offers a beautiful kiosk (kiosco) and walking paths where the visitor can share pleasant moments of tranquility. |
MISSION OF SANTA MARIA MAGDALENA

San Francisco Xavier The miraculous statue of Saint Francis Xavier's incorrupt body in the side chapel of the church at Magdalena de Kino. This is a 1940s replacement for an earlier statue which was taken from the church and burned in 1934, during a time of religious conflict in Mexico. The annual religious fiesta associated with this statue is the occasion for the region's major annual pilgrimage. |
