One of the churches you will probably bump into in Mendoza is the San Francisco Basilica located at the intersection of Necochea and España streets in Mendoza, right across Plaza San Martin.
The Image at the main Altar is Our Lady of Mount Carmel, patroness of Chile and of the Andes Army led by General San Martin, Argentina's liberation hero.
At this church lie the remains of his daughter Mercedes.
The church has many relics of the and plaques of people and institutions honouring the memory of General San Martin.
