Highlights of Lourdes

Lourdes is a premier global pilgrimage destination centered on the Sanctuary, established following the 1858 apparitions. This collection highlights the town's architectural diversity, from the soaring Neo-Gothic spires of the Immaculate Conception Basilica to the massive underground concrete structure of the Basilica of St. Pius X. Overlooking these sacred sites is the Castle of Lourdes, a medieval stone fortress and national monument. Now housing a Pyrenean museum, the castle provides panoramic views of the town and a historical perspective on the region’s military past.
