#6: Cullman’s Ave Maria Grotto
Located in Cullman, Alabama, the Ave Maria Grotto captivates with 125 miniature copies of global religious landmarks. Situated within St. Bernard Abbey’s grounds, it intrigues religion enthusiasts but might fall short versus the allure of the originals.

Though detailed, the grotto’s miniature replicas miss imparting the awe present in actual religious locales. They serve more as a quirky attraction for cathedral visitors, providing a sense of curiosity rather than the profound reverence experienced at full-sized sites.
