Additional information

This page deals with the interior of the basilica. Information about the interior ramp applies to the ramp on the other side of the holy door.

The pews are not accessible to wheelchair users due to two obstacles: a 5 cm threshold that must be crossed to gain access, and the limited space between the benches

You'll also find the prayer chapel, which is smaller and more accessible.
