One of the most impressive religious structures in Lourdes refers to the Basilica of St. Pius X. Though not as famous as other objectives in Lourdes, this particular church is literally one of the largest in the world. It can accommodate up to some 20,000 pilgrims. It is located under the south side of the Esplanade of Processions. Indeed, the other impressive feature of the basilica is it is an underground structure. The Underground Basilica of St. Pius X is one of the three venues in Lourdes which dedicate space to the array of one of the most popular Christian themes: the Way of the Cross (the other two venues referring to the hillside and to the watercourse of the Gave River).
