It's not just the inside and outside of the church that looks totally beautiful but the grounds are amazing too. Lovely perimeter wall around the grounds with mind blowing statues. Best Catholic church I've ever been in. Latvians/Russians make truly wonderful churches.

The most important Catholic spiritual centre in Latvia and the sacred site on a global scale, where every year on the day of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary ¨C on 15 August ¨C hundreds of thousands of pilgrims arrive from all Eastern Europe, is located in Aglona, a picturesque Latgalian town surrounded by lakes.

I was at Aglona Basilica for the feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. At the time there were many pilgrims as this is the height of the pilgrimage season. The Aglona Basilica of the Assumption is the spiritual "heart" of Latvia. This beautiful town and basilica are worth a look even if you have no spiritual inclinations at all. The art and architecture by themselves are incredible and if you are the spiritual type it should have added appeal.

Beautiful place in this area. It is possible to go inside and see altar very close. In the basilica territory is holy water fountain were it is possible to drink cold water.

Interesting place and the surrounding area was worth the visit

Il posto richiede al visitatore un momento di attenzione e di riflessione. Sono stato colpito a prima vista dalla maestosit¨¤' della chiesa, semplice nello stile architettonico. Al suo interno possiamo notare la semplicit¨¤ tipica di questo popolo. Il credente in questo posto ha tutto il tempo per riflettere sull' essenza della vita.

bella basilica.purtroppo era chiusa credo per restauri.per fortuna ¨¨ rimasto un luogo di visita e non ¨¨ assolutamente come Lourdes ed altri un grande business di souvenirs ed hotels. La basilica ¨¨ l'unica grossa costruzione esistente. intorno un piccolo villaggio con case modeste. No hotels!! cos¨¬ deve essere la fede!!
