La Rioja is located in Argentina's northwest region. It is a wine producing and olive growing area of Argentina. This Neo-Byzantine style Cathedral of St. Nicholas was built in 1899. It is both impressive in size and in beauty and was made a Minor Basilica by Pope Pius XII in 1955.

Spectacular!
Exterior
This is an especially lovely St. Nicholas Church. It is located in a beautiful area of the world far far away from St. Nicholas's earthly home. But interestingly enough, the climate would have been very similar to the city where St. Nicholas was Archbishop - Myra across the world along the Mediterranean Sea in Asia Minor.
