This 19th-century cathedral shelters the Virgen del Valle, patron saint of Catamarca and one of northern Argentina鈥檚 most venerated images. Her back is to the church: you can get a look at her face by ascending to the Camar铆n, a glorious mezzanine chapel with original tile and stained glass telling the virgin's story. It's accessed via a pedestrian lane and up a staircase decorated with more antiquated relics.
This is the destination of countless pilgrims; their devotion is moving.
