Notre-Dame-du-Cap Shrine, National shrine in Cap-de-la-Madeleine, Trois-Rivières, Canada.

The Notre-Dame-du-Cap Shrine features a main basilica building, gardens, paths, and a historical chapel built in the early 18th century.

The shrine gained national recognition in 1965 when it became the second largest Marian shrine in North America after Notre-Dame de Guadalupe in Mexico.

Religious ceremonies, masses, rosary prayers, and sacrament services take place daily, attracting over 500,000 visitors and pilgrims annually to the site.

Visitors can access virtual tours through a 3D platform, participate in scheduled celebrations, or make donations and light candles through the online system.

The site commemorates the Bridge of Ice miracle, where parishioners transported stones across the frozen Saint Lawrence River to construct the new church.
