Es: "La Basílica de Santa María de la Esperanza Macarena, también conocida popularmente como Basílica de La Macarena es un templo católico situado en el número 1 de la calle Bécquer, en el barrio de La Macarena. El edificio constituye la sede de la Hermandad de La Esperanza Macarena, que hace estación de penitencia en la Madrugada del Viernes Santo con las imágenes de María Santísima de la Esperanza Macarena y Nuestro Padre Jesús de la Sentencia. Su construcción fue iniciada en 1941, cuando el 13 de abril, Pedro Segura y Sáenz, arzobispo de Sevilla, bendijo los terrenos en los que se edificó y colocó la primera piedra del templo; y finalizada el año 1949, siendo bendecida el 18 de Marzo por el mismo arzobispo y actuando como padrinos Queipo de Llano y Serafina Salcedo, y consagrada por el cardenal José María Bueno Monreal, arzobispo de la ciudad, el 7 de octubre de 1966. La obra fue llevada a cabo por el arquitecto sevillano Aurelio Gómez Millán, y se trata de un edificio de una sola nave con capillas laterales. El templo obtuvo la dignidad de Basílica Menor por una bula de 12 de noviembre de 1966 concedida por el papa Pablo VI, siendo de este modo el primer templo sevillano en ostentar esta dignidad."
