context_page_description: Our Lady of the Forsaken is a Catholic invocation of the Virgin Mary. She is the patroness of Valencia and one of seven patrons of the Autonomous communities of Spain. She appears with a lily in one hand and in the other, she carries the baby Jesus who bears the cross in his arms. Her posture is characterized by a slight forward tilt, and hence, she is known affectionately as the Geperudeta of Valencia. Her image is housed in the 'Basilica de la Virgen de los Desamparados'.
context_section_description: The basilica which now houses the image of 'Our Lady' was built on the site of a Roman temple. A renaissance arch leads from the Basilica on Plaza de la Virgen to Valencia cathedral. Inside the Basilica there is a Gothic style statue of The Virgin with two children at her feet. A mechanical device allows the statue to revolve. Antonio Palomino (1653 - 1726) painted the frescoes on the dome of the nave.
