Lourdes Grotto

Named in honor of the famous French Catholic landmark, Lourdes Grotto is a beautiful shrine carved into the side of a limestone hill in the San Nicholas area of Oranjestad. Built in 1958 by a local priest and his parishioners, the Lourdes Grotto is now complete with a 1,500-pound statue of the Virgin Mary. This touching homage to the Roman Catholic religion is a must for those interested in visiting Aruba’s holy sites.
