[Martini05, 13.03.2005] The article explains the historical background of the building of the basilica built in 1876 as an "act of appeasement". The interior decoration with paintings "whose beauty will relieve you of any breath" and a ceiling image of Christ that "will knock you out". The bell tower lets the surroundings vibrate when it strikes and from the dome you get "a 50km panorama" view.
