Santuario della Madonna dell'Arco, Catholic shrine in Sant'Anastasia, Italy.
The Madonna dell'Arco sanctuary features a Latin cross layout with a barrel-vaulted nave, multiple chapels, and a bell tower near Mount Somma.
Construction of the sanctuary began in 1593 following a series of reported miracles, with Dominican priests taking charge of the site in 1595.
Each Easter Monday, pilgrims known as fujenti wear white and blue uniforms while walking to the sanctuary, singing traditional songs from the 15th century.
The sanctuary includes an orphanage, retirement home, school, and museum displaying historical votive offerings from centuries of devotion.
Every second Sunday in September, the sanctuary celebrates the Coronation of the Virgin with a ceremonial illumination of its bell tower.
