Description
The Basilica of the Immaculate Conception (Basilique de l'Immaculée Conception), constructed between 1866 and 1872, is one of several churches in Lourdes, France. It is situated on top of the rock above the Grotto of Massabielle and behind the Basilica of the Rosary. Because of its location it is also known as the Upper Basilica. A young Bernadette Soubirous saw her visions of the Virgin Mary in the Massabielle Grotto in the winter and spring of 1858. According to the story, the Virgin asked that a chapel be built at the site to receive the faithful. Prominent in town, a multi-story basilica accommodates visitors and pilgrims.
