Santuario della Madonna dell'Aiuto, Minor basilica in Bobbio, Italy.
The sanctuary features a single nave with side chapels and opens onto Via Garibaldi, facing a semicircular former hospital building.
Construction of the sanctuary began in 1621, with completion in 1836, resulting in architectural variations due to work spanning three centuries.
The Madonna dell'Aiuto became the patron saint of Bobbio in 1954, and the sanctuary received minor basilica status in 1970.
The annual festival takes place on June 5th, while traditional Marian month celebrations occur throughout May with regular religious services.
Below the main sanctuary lies the Church of the Annunciation of Mary, displaying the original fresco that generated numerous reports of healings.
