Basilique de l'Immaculée-Conception de Lourdes, Minor basilica in Lourdes, France.
The Upper Church features a 70-meter central spire with two additional spires, rising directly from the Massabielle rock formation in Lourdes.
The basilica, designed by architect Hippolyte Durand, opened its doors in 1876 following a construction period that began in 1862.
The interior walls display numerous ex voto plaques and banners from National Pilgrimages, documenting spiritual events connected to this sacred location.
The basilica accommodates 550 visitors and measures 51 meters in length, 21 meters in width, with a central spire reaching 70 meters high.
Four bells in the clock tower, including the two-tonne Jeanne-Alphonsine, ring the Ave Maria melody every hour throughout the day.
