Revered by locals for over a hundred years, this public shrine placed on the National Historic Register in 1971, which saved it from repeated plans to tear it down or move it.

Admire the adobe architecture, light a candle, leave a wish. If your candle stays lit all night, your wish will come true, or so they say. The legend of El Tiradito ( the castaway because he was a sinner) have different versions- everything from complicated love triangles to a man struck and killed by a bullet while walking past a bar-room door. El Tiradito is supposedly buried there.

El Tiradito is in Barrio Viejo in Tucson, Arizona, and is supposedly the world's sole Catholic shrine for a sinner.

A niche of barrio history, just a few steps south of the Convention Center. Take a moment to enjoy a moment of peace.
