The Catedral Metropolitana de Buenos Aires is the principal Roman Catholic church in Argentina, facing the historic Plaza de Mayo in the heart of the capital. Originally established in 1593, the current neoclassical structure was consecrated in 1779 and completed in 1822 after numerous rebuilds. This cathedral houses the mausoleum of General José de San Martín, Argentina's liberator, and features the Pope Francis Museum, honoring the former Archbishop of Buenos Aires who became the first Latin American pope. Watch live-streamed Mass from this magnificent cathedral, a spiritual and national treasure where faith and Argentine history intertwine.

The Basilica of Our Lady of Luján is Argentina's foremost Marian shrine, in the town of Luján about 65 kilometres west of Buenos Aires. Constructed in French neo-Gothic style between 1890 and 1935, its twin spires soar above the small image of the Virgin venerated as patroness of Argentina. Granted basilica rank around 1930, it draws millions of pilgrims annually, including the vast youth pilgrimage each October. The sanctuary runs one of Latin America's most active Catholic livestreams, broadcasting several Masses a day in Spanish on YouTube together with continuous camera feeds of the venerated image.
