The image of Oaxaca's patron saint, the Virgen de la Soledad (Virgin of Solitude), resides in the 17th century Basílica de la Soledad, three and a half blocks west of the Alameda. The church, with a richly carved baroque facade, stands where the image is said to have miraculously appeared in a donkey's pack in 1543. The Virgin lost her 2kg gold crown and several hundred diamonds to thieves in the 1990s.
