Tips from the community

Home of the miraculous staircase, the Loretto Chapel has been shrouded in mystery since its 1878 opening. This Gothic Revival-style chapel’s spiral staircase is one of the architectural world’s greatest puzzles. It features two 360-degree turns without any support—a construction thought to be virtually impossible in its day, and now.
