Are you searching for the face of Jesus? Well, this is the place. Unique in the whole world.
Ok
Very good organization and impeccable activity of the volunteers in the basilica during the bringing of Christ. Long live the Christ of Urda, the Christ of La Mancha. While we were waiting for the arrival of Christ, a woman born in Urda told me that the man who made the doors of the basilica died the day he finished them. And according to what they say, the boat was offered for a resident of Urda who was about to die in a shipwreck, and prayed to the Christ of Urda for his salvation.
Interesting Sanctuary with an imposing Christ with the cross on his shoulder, a relic of John Paul II and a piece of the wood of the Cross, it has a store, very well attended, very friendly service and with bathrooms.
I give this score because this church has, on its façade, fascist symbols and plaques paying tribute to José Antonio Primo de Rivera and the fallen of the national side in the civil war. Photo from October 2023.
Fantastic place of great devotion in La Mancha, recently elevated to the dignity of Minor Basilica. Its rector is magnificent, with exceptional and pleasant human treatment, committed to keeping alive the devotion to Christ and the dignity …
The Christ of Urda is one of the most beautiful images I have seen, the basilica, despite not being very large, is beautiful
Last year we went for the first time and we have promised to return. This is how we are going to do it
Place to visit in Urda, all the more so the more faith you have. And why not light a candle asking for something?
The Sanctuary allows a moment of inner peace and calm
