A place of breathtaking beauty awaits - a Catholic church sanctuary dedicated to the Virgin of Itati, nestled in its eponymous town within the province of Corrientes, Argentina. The devoted crowd is drawn by an extraordinary wooden image that was brought to an ancient indigenous reduction in what's now known as Itatí. Legend has it that in 1615, Mary herself spoke up, expressing her wish to stay put. Built on a grand scale, this ninth shrine dedicated to the Virgin boasts a late Renaissance style and was commissioned in 1938 by Italian visionary Pedro Azzano. Its construction reached its zenith in 1950 and showcases an impressive design that's truly one of a kind. Spanning 81m long and 63m wide, this magnificent church can comfortably seat 9,000 people. The crown jewel of the sanctuary is undoubtedly its majestic dome, standing at a record-breaking 88m high - the tallest in South America. Adorned with an awe-inspiring copper statue of the Virgin measuring 7.5m in height, it's an unforgettable sight to behold.
