THE CYCLORAMA is one of the world's largest panorama. On exibit at Ste-Anne-de-Beaupré since 1895 the well-deserved
acclaim heaped upon this gigantic masterpiece established the reputation of Paul
Philippoteaux, the famous panoramist from Paris, and his five assistants. Executed in
Munich from 1878 to 1882, this monumental work of art is 14 meters in height (45 feet) and 110 meters in
circumference (365 feet), or 1,540 square meters creating an illusion
of life and relief that is so real that it gives visitors the feeling that they are
themselves in Jerusalem reliving the crucifixion. From the
observation point, you can contemplate all the city of Jerusalem and over 80 kilometers of
surrounding countryside at the four cardinal points. Unique, breath taking and exceptional, this eye-witness journey into biblical times in the heart of Holy Land will fascinate you.
