North Atlantic Skyline, despatches from the west coast of Ireland

Knock village and Basilica, Co. Mayo

Like Lourdes and other major pilgrimage sites, Knock has developed a practical way of serving the thousands of visitors annually. The basilica is the centrepiece. The partitions on the ground floor can be opened out , so that there is an unbroken flow between those seated inside and the crowds outside.

The seats in the foreground face the gable end of the old church, where the apparition took place.
