Madonna Incoronata Sanctuary, Minor basilica and shrine in Borgo Incoronata, Foggia, Italy.

The Madonna Incoronata Sanctuary features a 57-meter bell tower and combines pseudo-Romanesque architecture with modern design elements throughout its structure.

The sanctuary's origins trace back to April 1001, when a count and shepherd reported seeing the Virgin Mary appear in the Cervaro forest.

The annual Festa dell'apparizione celebration includes the Cavalcata degli Angeli procession and traditional oil offerings for the sanctuary's perpetual lamp.

Located 12 kilometers from central Foggia, the sanctuary welcomes visitors year-round and provides guided tours of its religious complex.

The sanctuary houses a Black Madonna statue, which according to local accounts, was crowned by angels and saints following the original apparition.
