Mandhari ya Lourdes pamoja na Basilika la Rozari.

Sanamu ya Bikira Maria katika pango la Lourdes.

Inatembelewa na watu zaidi ya milioni 5 kwa mwaka kutoka na njozi za mwaka 1858, ambazo Kanisa Katoliki limethibitisha kwamba kweli Bikira Maria alimtokea msichana Bernadeta Soubirous.

Kanisa hilo limethibitisha pia miujiza 70 iliyotokana na maombezi ya Bikira Maria kuwa haielezeki kisayansi.
