Pilgrims and visitors from around the world climb these sacred steps on their knees, offering prayers and reflecting on the Passion of Christ. Witness the profound spiritual significance and history embedded within this remarkable site.

Marvel at the basilica's architecture, admire the mosaics, and reflect on the significance of the relics within, offering a tangible link to the life and sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
