Since the reports that the Virgin Mary, also referred to as Our Lady of Lourdes, had appeared eighteen different times to a young woman who lived in Lourdes, the town has turned into a very popular place for both miracles and healing as well as for Roman Catholic pilgrimages.
In fact, this beautiful little town is one of the most famous historical sites of the Virgin Mary appearing.
In the city of Lourdes itself, there are many religious and historical sites to see. T
he most famous of these is the House of Bernadette. Bernadette is the young girl who is said to have seen visions of the Virgin Mary while she was living in Lourdes.
Other popular places to visit are the Grotto of Massabielle, the place where Bernadette is said to have seen Mary, the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, and the Basilica of the Rosary.
In addition, just a short four-hour drive away is Zaragoza, another famous pilgrimage city where sightings of the Virgin Mary occurred.
