The La Vang Basilica was completed in 1900 as a monument to the appearance of the Virgin Mary to a group of persecuted Roman Catholics in 1798. It
was located approximately four miles outside of Quang Tri City in Quang Tri Province. The basilica was a favorite pilgrimage site for Vietnamese Catholics
until its destruction during the Eastertide Offensive in 1972.
