Description
The Basilica of Our Lady of Sorrows is an impressive example of Italian Renaissance architecture in the heart of Chicago. The interior impresses with a cradle vault rising to a height of 24 meters, decorated with more than 1,100 gilded panels.
A dazzling Carrara marble altar, magnificent murals and a replica of the Volto Santo create a unique atmosphere of spirituality.
As one of only three churches in Illinois honored by the Pope with the title of basilica, the site is a unique combination of history, art and faith, attracting both the faithful and lovers of sacred architecture.
