Hurtige fakta: Two vials within this basilica hold a cloth believed to contain the blood of Christ, brought back from the Second Crusade. Each year, a procession parades the relic through the streets, drawing thousands in colorful medieval costumes.
Højdepunkter: A secret staircase leads you up to a small chapel where the relic is housed, bathed in soft candlelight that casts a mystical glow. Witnessing the annual procession offers a vivid glimpse into medieval devotion with over 1,000 participants reenacting the event.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes, as you’ll climb a narrow staircase to the upper chapel.
- Visit on a weekday morning to avoid large crowds and enjoy a peaceful atmosphere.
- Photography is often restricted inside, so prepare to soak in the experience rather than snapping photos.
- Join a guided tour to unlock the rich stories behind the relic and the architecture.
