Shrine of Our Lady of Monte Stella, Catholic shrine in Ivrea, Italy.
The Shrine of Our Lady of Monte Stella is a religious site with white walls and decorative elements characteristic of baroque architecture. The complex includes a chapel with geometric patterns and religious artwork set on a hill overlooking the town of Ivrea.
The site was built in 1627 during a period of Catholic architectural expansion in northern Italy. Its construction reflects the religious development that the Piedmont region experienced during the baroque period.
The name reflects a long tradition of devotion to Mary in this region, drawing pilgrims who come seeking spiritual guidance. Locals use the space as a gathering point for prayer and the continuation of their faith practices throughout the year.
The site is best reached by car, as it sits on a hill outside town and requires a short walk uphill to reach. Parking is available near the entrance, and comfortable shoes are recommended for the walk up the sloped road.
From the chapel, you can see across the city of Ivrea and the surrounding landscape, making the visit worth the climb. This elevated location was deliberately chosen to make the shrine visible and accessible to pilgrims traveling from across the region.
