The Basilica of Our Lady of El Valle[1] (Spanish: Basílica Menor Nuestra Señora de El Valle)[2] It is a Gothic Revival basilica located in El Valle del Espíritu Santo a town on the island of Margarita, of Nueva Esparta state, in northwestern Venezuela.[3]
Its name is in honor of the patron saint of the town and the Venezuelan Navy: the Virgen del Valle.[4] After being founded the church San Nicolás de Bari, it was declared Basilica of Nueva Esparta state, on September 8, 1955, so that from that date its festivities are held; beginning with the descent of the Virgin on 8 September each year, which is placed where the public can see it up close. On 8 December is the rise of the Virgin, which is placed on an altar located at the top where the priest officiates masses.
Initially a small church, the building has been modified several times. One of the modifications was coordinated by Father Philip Martinez in 1733. It was declared a Minor Basilica by Pope John Paul II in 1995.
