Santuario della Madonna dell'Altomare, Catholic shrine in Andria, Italy
The Sanctuary of Madonna dell'Altomare stands within a cavity carved into tuff rock, featuring a single nave with tuff walls and ancient architectural elements.
In 1598, a girl who fell into a water cistern survived three days underwater, attributing her rescue to the Virgin Mary image painted on the cistern wall.
The sanctuary holds the sculpture 'La Pietà dell'Altomare' by Luigi Enzo Mattei, recognized by UNESCO as 'Heritage for a Culture of Peace'.
The religious building, located at Piazza Altomare 11 in Andria, welcomes visitors daily for prayers and religious celebrations throughout the year.
Excavations beneath the church revealed three ancient pillar bases, sections of opus signinum pavement, and a circular basin measuring 4.5 meters in diameter.
