Basilica of Our Lady of Nazareth of Exile

Local nameBasílica-Santuário de Nossa Senhora de Nazaré
LocationNazaré, Belém, Brasil

The Basilica of Our Lady of Nazareth of Exile is a minor basilica of the Catholic Church located in the city of Belém, Pará, Brazil. Its construction started in 1909 at the place where the image of the Virgin of Nazareth was found by Plácido José de Souza in the state of Pará, on the banks of the Murututu Igarapé.

The current structure of the basilica was designed in 1909 by Gino Coppedè, and was commissioned by Barnabite priests of the Genoa house. Coppedè planned the structure as a basilica rather than a parish church. It followed the design of Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls in Rome, an eclectic, Neoclassical, 19th-century structure by Pasquale Belli and Luigi Poletti.
