 ------------------------------- Luján is a city in the Buenos Aires province of Argentina, located 68 kilometres north west of the city of Buenos Aires. The city was founded in 1755 and has a population of about 80,000. Luján is best known for its large neo-Gothic Basilica, built in honor of the Virgin of Luján, the patron saint of Argentina. Every year, more than six million of people make pilgrimages to the Basilica, many walking there from Buenos Aires. The city is known as 'La Capital de la Fe' (Capital of the Faith) and is one of the most visited places in South America. It is popular day-trip for non-believers too, with abundant grill restaurants and souvenir shops with kitsch religious memorabilia. The church was designed by the French architect Ulderico Courtois and started in 1889, completed by 1937. Its towers stand 106m high and it has a copper roof and bronze doors. The huge church towers over the surrounding flat country and houses the tiny 38cm high statue of the Virgin. Luján is also home to the Enrique Udaondo museum complex, housing exhibitions on colonial life in the house of the Viceroy and old town hall, with art, uniforms and silverware; and on transport with many antique vehicles including the first hydroplane that crossed to Europe from Argentina and La Porteña, Argentina's first steam locomotive. Also on display are the prison cells where Colonel William Carr Beresford, commander of the 1806 British invading forces, and General Cornelio Saavedra, president of the first national government (Primera Junta) in 1810, were held. The nearby city of Mercedes is seat of the Bishop of Mercedes and Luján. Luján is the principal settlement of the Lujan Partido or municipality. The city has a railway and bus station and is easily reached from Buenos Aires. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) Free photos Lujan Argentina
