There are seven places of worship on the "second level" of Rocamadour: the most important is the Notre Dame de Rocamadour chapel, which stands over the crypt of Saint Amadour. The Basilica Saint-Sauveur is also important, which, together with the crypt, has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Way of St. James in France" since 1998. The smaller chapels are also found there: St. Jean-Baptiste, St. Blaise, St. Anne and St. Michel. There is also a sacred art museum displaying numerous reliquary shrines, religious paintings and statues. It explains the history of the pilgrimage site. There is also a center for sacred music that organizes concerts and supervises choirs.

At the top of the mountain, the "third level", there is a 14th century castle. In the jubilee year 2013, a campsite for young pilgrims and scouts was opened on the plateau. It bears the name 'Camp Jean-Paul II' and can accommodate about 400 pilgrims.

Good footwear for the countless stairs is mandatory. If you are in the area, an absolute must!
