About this property

The Basilica of Our Lady of Montserrat of Hormigueros or Basilica of the Black Virgin of Monserrat (Spanish: Basilica de la Virgen Negra del Monserrate) is a historic Roman Catholic shrine and minor basilica built in the town of Hormigueros, Puerto Rico, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary as a Black Madonna under the Marian title of “Virgin of Montserrat”. Pope John Paul II granted a pontifical decree of canonical coronation titled Omnibus Manifestum towards its venerated Marian image on July 18, 1994. The former Archbishop of San Juan, Cardinal Luis Aponte Martínez, executed the rite of coronation on February 12, 1995. The same Pontiff issued a decree titled Celeberrimum in Civitate that raised the sanctuary to the status of a minor basilica on May 19, 1998.
