Santuario di Santa Maria di Monte Tranquillo, Mountain shrine in Pescasseroli, Italy.
The Santa Maria di Monte Tranquillo sanctuary stands at 1597 meters above sea level on Mount Tranquillo, overlooking the valley of Pescasseroli.
Bishop Berardo of Marsi ordered the construction of the original church in the early 12th century to provide shelter for pilgrims in the mountainous Marsica region.
The sanctuary holds a wooden black Madonna statue, replaced in 1982 after the original was stolen, which draws numerous pilgrims during the annual July celebration.
Visitors can reach the sanctuary through a marked trail starting at the Vallecupa Equestrian Center, following path C3 through wooded areas and meadows.
A large rock near the sanctuary, known as the Madonna's Mantle, bears an impression that local tradition attributes to the Virgin Mary resting during her journey.
