Templo de Nuestra Señora del Pilar
Completed in 1720, it was originally known as La Parroquia.
It was rebuilt in 1882, with vaulted ceilings and the current porch.
The facade has two levels, the first with the porch and the second with two windows and three niches where the sculpture of the Virgin of the Pillar is located in the center, with the sculptures of St. Joachim and St. Anne on the sides.
The interior showcases neoclassical altars, a magnificent oil painting, mural paintings, and leaded glass panels.
The main altar is made of Carrara marble with a beautiful Gothic-influenced canopy housing the image of the Virgin of the Pillar.
