Religious Heritage of Rocamadour

Rocamadour has been a major pilgrimage destination since the Middle Ages, centered around a miraculous sanctuary built into a limestone cliff. This collection features the UNESCO-listed Basilica of Saint-Sauveur and the Chapelle Notre-Dame, home to the 12th-century Black Madonna. The list includes the historic gates that welcomed medieval travelers and surrounding Romanesque churches, such as L'Hospitalet, which originally served as a refuge for pilgrims on the Way of Saint James.
