Santuario della Madonna di Canneto, Minor basilica and sanctuary in Settefrati, Italy.
The Sanctuary of Madonna di Canneto stands at 1030 meters above sea level within Abruzzo, Lazio, and Molise National Park, 10 kilometers from Settefrati.
Archaeological findings from 1958 revealed remains of a temple dedicated to the goddess Mefitis, indicating the site's ancient religious function before Christianity.
The wooden statue of Madonna di Canneto, dating from the 12th or 13th century, wears a silk mantle embroidered with gold during religious ceremonies.
The sanctuary reaches peak visitor numbers during August pilgrimages, with the main procession occurring on August 21 when the Eucharist travels to Melfa spring.
The site connects to an 819 legend of the Virgin Mary appearing to a shepherdess, resulting in the emergence of a water spring.
