Shrine
Pilgrimage's named destination
A shrine is a place or structure regarded as holy because of its association with a sacred person, deity, or relic.
Shrines may be as elaborate as a cathedral or as modest as a roadside marker.
People visit shrines to pray, pay respects, or seek blessings.
By extension, any place treated with special reverence becomes a shrine: His childhood home has become a shrine for fans.
The verb shrine, rare and literary, means to enshrine or place in a shrine.
