Grotte Notre-Dame d'Arigbo, Pilgrimage cave in Dassa-Zoumé, Benin

Grotte Notre-Dame d'Arigbo is a natural cave on the hill of Arigbo in Dassa-Zoumé, Collines, Benin, used as a Catholic Marian shrine. A statue of the Virgin was found there in 1954, and the site was blessed as a Lourdes-style grotto; a large luminous cross was raised on the summit above it. The cave lies beside the Arigbo pond, and the sanctuary is listed among Benin's protected areas.

On 11 February 1954, after a statue of the Virgin was found in the natural cave, Bishop Louis Parisot blessed the site before about 6,000 people and founded the Dassa-Zoumè pilgrimage. He had a large illuminated cross raised on the mountain top. The first pilgrimage organized by the CAGAD committee drew over 10,000 people on 22–23 August 1981.

The cave draws Catholic pilgrims from across West Africa each year, especially during major religious celebrations. Visitors gather to pray and participate in ceremonies held within and around the rocky site.

Visitors should expect uneven rock formations and wear sturdy footwear. The site is maintained with facilities in place to ensure safety during religious gatherings.

The large luminous cross that Parisot had erected on the mountain top in 1954 was part of the same gesture that made Arigbo a Marian pilgrimage centre. The site is also listed among Benin's protected areas, a status that sets the sanctuary apart from ordinary parish grounds.
