O que fazer em Lourdes

Lourdes Essentials

This collection highlights the spiritual heart of Lourdes, centered on the Sanctuary where St. Bernadette Soubirous reported 18 apparitions in 1858. It features the three main basilicas—Immaculate Conception, Rosary, and the underground St. Pius X—alongside the 'Bernadette Trail' visiting her birthplace at Boly Mill and the 'Cachot' prison. Beyond religious sites, the list includes the medieval Castle of Lourdes and the Pic du Jer funicular, which provides panoramic views of the Pyrenees.
