The Basilica Menor Nuestra Senor Del Valle is a Roman Catholic church that we visited during the Road Unlimited Margarita Island 4X4 Jeep Tour.

This beautiful church is located in El Valle del Espíritu Santo (Valley of the Sacred Spirit) in front of Plaza Santiago Mariño.

The Basilica Menor Nuestra Senor Del Valle was built in February of 1894 in the "Neo-Gotchic" (Neogotico) style.

It's obvious that the locals really care about this structure because it was immaculate. During our visit, I noticed that there were people touch up painting one of the upper arches.

Another attraction in this immediate area is the Museo Diocesano Virgen Del Valle, which is a museum dedicated to the "Virgin of the Valley".
