It measures a total of 459 feet long and covers an area of 77,500 square feet. The height of the nave, from the marble floor to the apex of the central dome is ten stories. The Knights' Tower, a gift of the Knights of Columbus and was completed in 1959, it rises 329 feet from ground level -- from its base to the top of the cross it is as tall as a 32 story building.<br/> <br/> The interior of the Great Upper Church is 399 feet long and can accommodate more than six thousand worshipers. By way of analogy, the Statue of Liberty, which measures 306 feet 8 inches from the foundation of the pedestal to the torch could easily fit lengthwise in the Upper Church.</p> <p>The Crypt Church is 200 feet long, 160 feet wide and can comfortably seat more than 400 persons.</p> <p>The Basilica of the National Shrine has much to offer souls hungering for closeness to God. We welcome you to the Virtual Tour of the Basilica of the National Shrine, a shrine built in honor of the Mother of God, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and in honor of her Immaculate Conception.</p> <p>If you are able, spend some time here in Washington and visit this wonderful Basilica. Take a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081005152023/http://www.nationalshrine.com/site/lookup.asp?c=etITK6OTG&b=130935" target="_self">tour</a> of its numerous chapels, and gain an understanding of the titles by which Mary has been honored over the centuries.</p> <p>If you are unable to visit, this virtual tour will guide you through its chapels and displays. We invite you to undertake this tour in prayerful spirit. Each page within the Virtual tour ends with a prayer, where possible.
