Why it is worth your time
Climb the 561 steps of the Petar Kružić stairway to the shrine where, legend says, the Holy House of Nazareth rested before moving on to Loreto. Inside the Franciscan church you can pray before the miraculous icon of the Virgin, said to have been painted by St Luke and sent by the Pope to console the faithful.
