Madonna della Misericordia
Madonna della Misericordia, Catholic sanctuary in Castelleone, Italy.
The Madonna della Misericordia sanctuary is a church with a Latin cross design featuring a distinctive thirteen-sided roof structure at its center and a polygon-shaped end wall. The building displays construction methods typical of the Lombardy region.
The building was begun in 1513 following reported visions that occurred two years earlier to a local woman. Construction took place under the direction of a regional architect and became a response to these spiritual events.
The painted surfaces inside display religious scenes created by local artists in the 1500s that shaped how people experienced worship here. These artworks remain a focal point for visitors walking through the interior.
The sanctuary sits about a kilometer from Castelleone's center and is reachable on foot. Visitors should check opening hours ahead of time since regular schedules apply.
The sanctuary holds a carved wooden figure of Madonna with Child from the 1500s made by a regional sculptor. Inside also stands an organ from the 1800s constructed by a well-known builder from northern Italy.
