Lonely Planet review for Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar
Yes, that’s a pair of skulls on your right as you enter the basilica. But the centerpiece of this gleaming white colonial church, built by Jesuits in 1716, is a Peruvian altar adorned with silver from Argentina’s northwest. The crypt leads into underground tunnels that once connected the basilica to other sections of the city. Free tours in English and Spanish start at 10:30am and 6:15pm Monday to Saturday.
