Description
The Sanctuary of Madonna della Corona is one of Italy’s most well-known sanctuaries dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
Built on a rocky terrace standing at a height of 774 m and overlooking the valley of the river Adige, it emerges from the craggy slopes of the Monte Baldo massif. Seen from afar, the sanctuary appears to be suspended halfway between Earth and Heaven thus defying the law of gravity. With its centuries-old history and religious traditions, it attracts pilgrims daily.
An incredibly serene place, a visit to the sanctuary leaves a deep impression. No matter how religious or not you may be, seeing the salmon-coloured church emerge on the side of the vertical cliff as you turn the corner of the path leading to it, is an experience that makes you stop in your tracks and contemplate the beauty and the resilience of this world for a moment or two.
