Loretto Chapel Altar Cross

The staircase has two 360 degree turns and no visible means of support. Also, it is said that the staircase was built without nails--only wooden pegs. Questions also surround the number of stair risers relative to the height of the choir loft and about the types of wood and other materials used in the stairway's construction.
