Santuario di Maria Santissima del Buoncammino, Catholic shrine and church building in Altamura, Italy.
The sanctuary features a Greek cross layout with two historical paintings of Madonna del Buoncammino and decorative sculptures throughout its interior.
Founded in 1747 by Canon Giambattista de Nicolai, who constructed a small Greek cross chapel near an existing shrine dedicated to the Madonna.
Local residents place stickers of Madonna del Buoncammino on their car windshields, considering her the protector of travelers.
The sanctuary complex includes a nursing home for elderly people and individuals with mental health conditions in its adjacent building.
The papier-mâché statue of Madonna del Buoncammino, commissioned in Lecce, leads processions during religious celebrations.
