The main feature of the shrine is the remarkable basilica, which is the second basilica and the fifth church to be built on the site. Lit by 240 stained glass windows, this imposing structure was built in 1923 to replace the first basilica, which had been destroyed by fire. The basilica's twin steeples make it the tallest building in the area by far. The shrine has been a pilgrimage site since 1658. Over 1.5 million people visit the site each year, explaining the presence of an inn, a store, a museum and two restaurants. Guided tours are offered. Address: 10018, avenue Royale Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré QC G0A 3C0
