Add PhotosLa Basílica de Santa Engracia se encuentra en Zaragoza, España. Fue construido en el lugar donde Santa Engracia y sus compañeros fueron martirizados en el 303 d.C. A principios del siglo IV, se construyó una tumba en el sitio de la necrópolis cristiano-romana. Hacia el 609, se estableció la Abadía de Santa Engracia para albergar las reliquias de Santa Engracia y los numerosos mártires de Zaragoza.
La Abadía fue demolida hacia 1492, cuando Fernando II de Aragón fundó el Monasterio Jerónimo de Santa Engracia. Tras su elección al papado, el Papa Adriano VI pasó por Zaragoza camino de Roma, pasando la Semana Santa en Santa Engracia. El rey Felipe III lo visitó en 1599.
En 1808, la iglesia del monasterio fue destruida en gran parte en el asedio de Zaragoza, durante la guerra peninsular napoleónica, quedando solo la cripta y la fachada. En 1836 se demolieron los claustros de Santa Engracia. En 1891, la reina regente, María Cristina, ordena la reconstrucción de la Iglesia de Santa Engracia, y en 1899, se consagra la nueva iglesia.
El Papa Juan Pablo II honró a la iglesia con la designación de una basílica menor con motivo de su visita en 1982.

Saint Engratia Basilica
Saint Engratia Basilica is located in Zaragoza, Spain. It was built on the spot where Saint Engratia and her companions were martyred in 303 AD. Early in the fourth century, a tomb was built on the site of the Christian-Roman necropolis. Around 609, the Abbey of Saint Engratia was established to house the relics of Saint Engratia and the many martyrs of Saragossa.
The Abbey was demolished around 1492, when Ferdinand II of Aragon founded the Hieronymus Monastery of Saint Engratia. After his election to the papacy, Pope Hadrian VI passed through Zaragoza on his way to Rome, spending Holy Week at Santa Egratia. King Philip III visited in 1599.
In 1808, the monastery church was largely destroyed in the Siege of Saragossa, during the Napoleonic Peninsular War, with only the crypt and the facade being left. In 1836, the Saint Engratia Cloisters were demolished. In 1891, the regent queen, María Cristina, orders the reconstruction of the Saint Engratia Church, and in 1899, the new church was consecrated.
Pope John Paul II honored the church with the designation of a minor basilica on the occasion of his visit in 1982.
