The Basilica of Guadalupe is a Catholic Cathedral in northern Mexico City. The first Cathedral was built on the muddy soil of Mexico City without a proper foundation and is sinking. It is no longer used. The Catholic Church built a newer Cathedral to one side. This Cathedral houses the cape of Juan Diego, who supposedly saw the Virgin Mary in a vision.

Above: This is a postcard of the two basilicas, the old and the new (to the left).
