The Saint John Paul II National Shrine combines a Catholic pilgrimage site with exhibits on Pope John Paul II, his legacy, and Catholic history in North America. The shrine includes devotional spaces, mosaics, and displays run by the Knights of Columbus.
It is a short stop for most visitors, but worthwhile for those interested in modern Catholic history or religious art. It pairs well with the nearby Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.
