Santuario di Dinnammare, Mountain shrine in Messina, Italy.
The Sanctuary of Dinnammare stands at 1127 meters elevation on Monte Dinnammare, offering views of the Ionian Sea, Tyrrhenian Sea, and Strait of Messina.
The chapel dates back to the seventh century during the Byzantine period, with later influences from Arab domination reflected in its name's possible etymology.
Every August 3rd, a traditional procession departs from Larderia village in the evening, reaching the sanctuary at sunrise to honor the Madonna of Dinnammare.
The sanctuary is accessible via multiple hiking trails, with parking facilities available near the base for visitors planning to climb to the summit.
According to local tales, two sea monsters transported a sacred image to the beach below the mountain, where fishermen found it and brought it to the peak.
