Oh wow! That national sanctuary is definitely an eye-catcher! Just look at its massive central pinnacle - so attractive that it easily catches our immediate attention. Isn't that a glorious sight? Its Brutalist-inspired architecture, evident in the untreated concrete facade applied on its exposed surfaces, geometrical patterns, and other architectural elements also possess a unique design appeal that would mesmerize churchgoers. That spectacular shrine has a design statement of its own, no doubt, and is indeed a worthy emblem of Venezuela's patron saint. Splendid publication Benjamin!

Hello friend Erne, when I had the opportunity to visit the Shrine, several years ago, I was impressed by its beauty and the special shape and design, with respect to the churches that I have known in my travels through Europe and the Americas. It looks like a basilica isolated from the city, which helps to feel an atmosphere of peace and tranquility from the moment you are in the place; what makes it a bit different from the churches found in the heart of any city. Thank you for your wise comments.
