Madonna del Frassine, Catholic sanctuary in Frassine, Monterotondo Marittimo, Italy

The Madonna del Frassine sanctuary consists of a single nave with a transept and a cubic chapel housing 17th-century Sienese school paintings.

According to local records, Bishop Regolo brought a cedar wood statue of Madonna and Child to Val di Cornia in 515, which later became the centerpiece of the sanctuary.

The sanctuary contains a museum of miracles featuring 19th-century painted tablets depicting local daily life scenes and work-related incidents in the region.

The sanctuary maintains regular Mass celebrations and prayer sessions, with the Pilgrim's House offering daytime accommodation and outdoor facilities for visitors.

The name Frassine derives from fraxinus excelsior trees in the area, which local people traditionally burned to ward off forest spirits.
