Santuario di Valsorda

The sanctuary stands at 621 meters above sea level, featuring a Latin cross layout and a reinforced concrete dome added in 1924.

The sanctuary's initial structure began as a small stone oratory in the 1400s, built after the area recovered from a devastating plague.

The sanctuary preserves numerous ex-votos, including some of the oldest examples in the Piedmont region, documenting centuries of local religious devotion.

Visitors can access the sanctuary via SP 213 road from Garessio, with facilities available for prayer retreats and recreational activities.

The structure houses a triptych from the 16th century depicting Madonna delle Grazie with St Mark and St Catherine of Siena.
