Basilica church of Santa Engracia de Zaragoza

The Church of Santa Engracia de Zaragoza is a basilica church in Zaragoza, Spain. It was built on the spot where Saint Engratia and her companions were said to have been martyred in 303 AD.

It was partially destroyed in the Spanish War of Independence, with only the crypt and the doorway being left -the scene of fighting was later painted by Louis-François, Baron Lejeune.

It was rebuilt in the late 19th or early 20th century, and served as a parish church.[1]
