The simple lines of this colonnade of the Basilica de la Virgen de Candelaria in Copacabana, Bolivia, on the shore of Lake Titicaca, draws both the eye and the congregations of the faithful. The cathedral is the site of many religious observances, including the Fiesta de la Virgen de la Candelaria, honoring the Virgin Mary, also known as the Dark Virgin of the Lake and the Patroness of Bolivia.
