Its importance was primarily military and local.<\/p><h3 style=\"margin: 0;\"><strong>Middle Ages:<\/strong><\/h3><p style=\"margin: 0 0 6px 0; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5;\">During the Middle Ages, Lourdes Castle was an important stronghold in the Bigorre region. It passed through French and English hands during the Hundred Years&#039; War and maintained a defensive role until the Modern Age.<\/p><h3 style=\"margin: 0;\"><strong>19th Century:<\/strong><\/h3><p style=\"margin: 0 0 6px 0; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5;\">In 1858, Lourdes was completely transformed after the 18 Marian apparitions to the young Bernadette Soubirous in the grotto of Massabielle. This event turned the town into a major international pilgrimage center and one of the most visited religious sites in the world.<\/p><h3 style=\"margin: 0;\"><strong>Present:<\/strong><\/h3><p style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5;\">Today, Lourdes is one of Catholicism&#039;s major pilgrimage destinations, receiving millions of visitors each year.
