Shrine of La Virgen de San Juan de Valle

An elaborate Catholic church, completed in 1954, included many imported works of art. It was destroyed by fire after a plane crash (apparently deliberate) in 1970. A wooden statue of Our Lady of San Juan was, however, undamaged. Ten years later the statue was placed in a new shrine built mostly from small contributions. North of downtown.

Location: Raul Longoria Rd @ US 83, San Juan Texas
