National Shrine Grotto of Lourdes

Overlooking Mount St. Mary's College, the shrine, a replica of the Grotto of Lourdes in France, was established by Father John DuBois, in 1805. Paved walkways wind through landscaped gardens containing stone and copper Stations of the Cross, mosaic murals depicting the Mysteries of the Rosary, a bronze statue of Mary and a campanile with 14 bells.
