Architecture, history & things to do near Notre Dame (University of Notre Dame)
The University of Notre Dame's campus is anchored by the Main Building's golden dome, topped by a statue of the Virgin Mary. The Basilica of the Sacred Heart, a French Gothic church, is one of the finest collegiate churches in America. Touchdown Jesus — a massive mural of Christ with arms raised on the Hesburgh Library, visible from inside the football stadium — is the campus's most famous image. The Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes, a replica of the French original, is where students light candles year-round. The campus combines Gothic and modern architecture across 1,250 acres of lakes, gardens, and tree-lined paths.
