Santuario de Guadalupe (Shrine)
Temple built in the early 19th century in a neoclassical style.
Its construction was ordered by Feliciano Ramos as a vow he had made to the Virgin of Guadalupe. He arrived from Havana as a slave to a Spanish family, and shortly thereafter gained his freedom and became a prosperous merchant. He decided to fulfill his vow and build a sanctuary for the Virgin.
On its facade and tower, on pedestals, you can still see 4 sculptures of the 7 it once had, representing the 7 virtues. The four that are preserved are: Charity, Temperance, Fortitude, and Faith.
