Wish I’d known you when we travelled there. People were climbing the stairs and we did not like to disturb them and So.….. we missed this beautiful chapel. Now after reading this I regret that we were polite.
There’s a small ticket booth at the bottom of the stairs (there may not have been then), and if not a pilgrim one can walk up the side staircase. Next time!
I’m still amazed that in September 2021 after climbing the Holy Stairs a guard motioned me & a couple other people into the Sancta Sanctorum. I didn’t fully appreciate it until after.

I love that place. I've sat on that marble bench, alone, for hours, many times. It's shocking, and delightful, that I'm able to.
Isn’t it just! Thanks for reading Wim!
Dear Agnes, you surpass yourself each time. Thank you!
Thank you Ulrike, what a lovely thing to say!
