Beata Vergine del Pilastrello Sanctuary, Catholic sanctuary in Dovera, Italy
The Beata Vergine del Pilastrello Sanctuary consists of a main church with a portico reminiscent of traditional Lombard farmhouses and features entirely frescoed facades.
In 1386, according to local records, the Virgin Mary appeared to Catherine, a deaf girl with a disabled right hand, near a fountain with a painted Madonna.
The sanctuary houses numerous frescoes from the late 16th and early 15th centuries depicting scenes from Mary's life and other saints within its single-hall interior.
The sanctuary maintains regular opening hours for visitors and pilgrims, offering access to both the main church and the octagonal chapel with its domed ceiling.
The chapel contains a wooden sculpture group created in 1922 by Capuchin brothers from Milan, depicting the apparition of Madonna to Catherine.
