Lonely Planet review

Standing guard over Parque Berrío is Basílica de la Candelaria, Medellín's most important church. Built in the 1770s, it served as the city's cathedral from 1868 till 1931. Inside there's a beautiful coffered ceiling, a much venerated figure of the Señor Caido (Fallen Christ) in the left aisle, and an interesting main retable.
