Orrido di Sant'Anna, Natural gorge in Cannobio, Italy.
The Orrido di Sant'Anna features vertical limestone cliffs carved by water, creating a deep canyon with cascading waterfalls and natural rock formations.
The gorge has served as a significant pilgrimage route since medieval times, leading to the sanctuary of Saint Anna built within the rocky walls.
The natural formation holds religious importance for local residents who gather annually to celebrate Saint Anna's feast day with traditional ceremonies.
Visitors can access the gorge through wheelchair-friendly pathways that extend for 3 kilometers from Cannobio, offering multiple observation points along the route.
The continuous flow of the Cannobino River through the gorge has created distinctive geological patterns in the rock face over thousands of years.
