What to see

A long promenade of approximately 4,000m2 separates the chapel and tower. The cave has been restored as a rock chapel and at its entrance is a statue of a Virgin waiting in front of a well. A trail at the sanctuary illustrates the biblical events, which according to oral tradition, are said to have taken place in Lebanon. Along a path lined by rosemary and olive trees, they are commemorated through steles carved in stone. Under the great basilica, a multi-purpose room and hostel have been built. At the entrance of the site there is space for parking and a shop with souvenirs and religious items, a large cafeteria and toilets.
