THE CYCLORAMA - The world's largest panorama. The worldwide fame of this
panorama realization yearly attracts everincreasing numbers of tourists and pilgrims to
Ste-Anne-de-Beaupré, where Cyclorama has been on exhibit 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, the monumental work is 14 meters in height and 110 meters in
circumference, or 1,540 square meters of amazing illusion. Cyclorama creates an illusion
of life and relief that is so real that it gives visitors the feeling that they are
themselves in Jerusalem and that they relive the sight of Crusifixion. From the
observation point, you can contemplate all the city of Jerusalem and over 80 kilometers of
surrounding countryside at the four cardinal points. Finding yourself again in biblical
times in the heart of Holy Land will fascinate you.
