Sanctuary of the Virgin of Taburnus, Gothic religious shrine in Bucciano, Italy
The Sanctuary of the Virgin of Taburnus stands at 544 meters above sea level on the southern foothills of Mount Taburno, featuring ribbed vaults and round arches.
Construction of the sanctuary commenced in 1498 when Carlo Carafa's descendant built a convent and transferred it to Dominican friars for religious activities.
The sanctuary holds annual pilgrimages on Divine Mercy Sunday, drawing visitors to participate in religious ceremonies and community gatherings.
Trails from the sanctuary lead to three caves containing rock paintings, offering visitors both religious and natural exploration opportunities.
The original floor remains partially intact, displaying distinct octagonal paving stones that represent the architectural methods of the late 15th century.
