University of Notre Dame
Historic District · Notre Dame, Indiana
A Catholic university founded in 1842 north of South Bend, whose campus is one of the most visited in the United States and is open to the public without a ticket. The gold-leafed Main Building dome, the Basilica of the Sacred Heart with its Luigi Gregori murals, the Grotto modelled on Lourdes, and the Hesburgh Library mural universally known as Touchdown Jesus sit within a few minutes' walk of one another. Notre Dame football has been broadcast nationally by NBC since 1991, which is why a great many first-time visitors arrive knowing the stadium and nothing else on the campus.
