Santuario Madonna della Bassa, Religious shrine in Rubiana, Italy.
Santuario Madonna della Bassa is a religious shrine located at 1152 meters elevation, positioned between two valleys with a three-nave structure inside. The interior features decorated walls and maintains a simple exterior appearance typical of mountain sanctuaries.
The sanctuary began in 1714 following an accident that Lorenzo Nicol survived and attributed to the Virgin Mary's intercession. This origin in personal recovery shaped the sanctuary's meaning for the surrounding community.
The walls display numerous offerings left by visitors, showing scenes of healing, forgiveness, and everyday moments through paintings and carvings. These personal gifts reveal how deeply the local community remains connected to this place.
You can reach the sanctuary by driving on the provincial road toward Colle del Lys or by walking trails starting from Val della Torre. The mountain location means weather changes quickly, so dress in layers and check conditions before heading up.
The sanctuary holds frescoes painted by local artists Francesco Tabusso and Germana Albertone that visually tell the story of healing at this place. These artworks give the location a distinctive local character that sets it apart from other pilgrimage sites.
