Santuario della Madonna di Salzana

The Santuario della Madonna di Salzana stands high in the mountains of Lombardy, featuring traditional religious architecture and a wooden statue of Madonna with Child.

Built in 1466 following two devastating landslides that affected the village of Salzana, the sanctuary received its consecration from Milan's auxiliary bishop in 1548.

The sanctuary maintains its position as a central religious site where local congregations gather for annual processions and celebrations throughout the liturgical calendar.

Located within walking distance of several mountain trails, the sanctuary provides visitors with facilities and designated prayer spaces for spiritual reflection.

The wooden Madonna statue survived two major landslides that destroyed the village, leading local residents to consider it a symbol of resilience.
