Mariazell Basilica, Marian shrine in Mariazell, Austria.
The white marble basilica rises with two Gothic side towers flanking a central Baroque tower topped by a green copper dome.
The basilica's construction began in 1644 under architect Domenico Sciassia, incorporating elements from an earlier Gothic church at the site.
The basilica contains the Gnadenkapelle chapel, which houses a wooden statue of the Virgin Mary, known as Magna Mater Austria.
The basilica opens daily from 7:30 AM to 7:30 PM, with extended hours until 11:30 PM on Saturdays from May through October.
Three stone gates mark different kingdoms that supported the basilica: Hungary, Bohemia, and Austria, representing its pan-European significance.
