Mural at "Nuestra Señora de
la Carrodilla” Parish
The
Archbishop of San Juan, Américo Orzali made of this colonial
style chapel a Parish. The Church and the “Calvario”
are storical Monuments. Don Antonio Solanillas was the Spanish settler who built this small chapel on the side of the way to enthrone the image of “Nuestra Señora de la Carrodilla” (“Our Lady of Carrodilla”). The people’s faith made of the Lady the Patron saint of the Mendocinean. Carrodilla has been overwhelmed, in the last decade, by newcomers who eventually chose this place as a residencial abode. Carrodilla
hosts a Historical Culture and Religious National Center callled
"Virgin of Carrodilla". During the Holy Week, Carrodilla
becomes a central place of cult for the public catholic services
and processions.
