The Sanctuary of the Virgin of Caacupé is a Catholic basilica in Paraguay that was inaugurated on 8 December 1765 and became a place of pilgrimage for many local believers. Caacupé is considered the spiritual capital of Paraguay because it houses the largest sanctuary in the country.[2]

The temple, in addition to its status as a cathedral, is considered as a Catholic national sanctuary[3] and minor basilica .[4] It is under the pastoral responsibility of Bishop Ricardo Jorge Valenzuela Ríos. The church has been visited by two different popes: John Paul II in May 1988 and Francis in July 2015.[5]
