It is a Catholic temple that was inaugurated on February 18, 1883 by Bishop Benito Lué y Riega. But it is not any temple of the city, it is the church of the childhood and adolescence of Pope Francis. There, on March 19, coinciding with the day of Saint Joseph, patron of this basilica, Archbishop Jorge Mario Bergoglio decided to begin his pontificate at age 17. The building, eclectic style, was renovated in 2015 by the Buenos Aires Government.
