Nuestra Señora de Gracia Church (Guadalupe Church)
Religious site
Hilltop church whose Augustinian community dates to 1601; in 1603 its patroness became Our Lady of Guadalupe, honouring the Virgin venerated in Extremadura, Spain. The stone sanctuary and monastery were finished in 1630. Damaged by the 1880 earthquake and gutted by fire after its occupation in 1898-1899, it was rebuilt in the early 1970s and is a popular wedding church.
