The Oratoire of St Joseph is a Roman Catholic basilica, said to be the most visited pilgrim site in Catholicism after St Peter's in Rome, with over 2 million visitors each year.
The basilica's monumental dome has a diameter of 39 meters and rises 236 meters above sea level making it the highest point in the city of Montreal. The church is reached by climbing a staircase of 300 steps, and it is not uncommon to see pilgrims make the ascent on their knees.
