    On the "second level" of Rocamadour are seven places of worship: the most important is the Chapel of Our Lady of Rocamadour, which stands above the crypt of Saint Amadour. Also significant is the Basilica of Saint-Sauveur, which, together with its crypt, has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Routes of Santiago de Compostela in France" since 1998. The smaller chapels of St. Jean-Baptiste, St. Blaise, St. Anne, and St. Michel are also located there. A museum of sacred art, displaying numerous reliquaries, religious paintings, and statues, is also situated there. It explains the history of the pilgrimage site. In addition, there is a center for sacred music that organizes concerts and supports 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!
