Santuario della Madonna dell'Apparizione, Religious sanctuary in Pellestrina, Italy.

The Santuario della Madonna dell'Apparizione features an octagonal layout with Palladian elements and classical details in its portals and windows.

Construction of the sanctuary began in 1718 after the Virgin Mary appeared to a local child named Natalino Scarpa in 1716.

The sanctuary holds annual celebrations commemorating the apparition of the Virgin Mary, bringing together residents from across the Venetian islands.

The sanctuary can be reached by regular boat services that connect Pellestrina island to other parts of the Venetian lagoon.

Excavations in 1953 revealed the exact spot of the Marian apparition, marked by a commemorative marble band with an inscription.
