The Panorama, portraying the crucifixion of Christ, is one of the few remaining giant panoramas in existence. The circular painting is 100 metres long and 10 metres high and depicts the town of Jerusalem at the time of Christ and his suffering on the way to the cross. It is regarded as one of the most powerful examples of Christian art of its type and standing at its centre is an impressive sight. Originally created in 1893 in wood, it burnt down in 1960 and has been reconstructed using original plans and photos.
