Madonna della Costa, Baroque shrine in Sanremo, Italy
The Madonna della Costa church rises at the highest point of Sanremo, featuring a Latin cross plan and a dome decorated with interior frescoes.
The shrine was constructed in 1630 following a sailor's rescue from pirates, replacing an earlier oratory that dated back to 1361.
The Feast of Chains procession commemorates the liberation from feudal restrictions, with citizens traditionally dragging chains to the sanctuary.
Visitors can reach the sanctuary by walking through La Pigna district, following the narrow streets that lead to the hilltop location.
The dome, added between 1770 and 1775, serves as a reference point for sailors and contains numerous votive offerings from grateful survivors.
