Madonna of Trapani, Minor basilica and shrine in Trapani, Italy

The Basilica-Sanctuary features a marble statue of the Madonna and Child, measuring 165 centimeters in height and weighing 12 tons.

The Carmelite Order constructed the original church between 1315 and 1332, with major reconstruction taking place in 1760.

The basilica houses the skull of Saint Albert of Trapani within an 18th-century silver statue and contains relics of Clement of Ancyra.

Visitors can find the basilica at Via Conte Agostino Pepoli 178 in Trapani, with the adjacent convent now serving as the Agostino Pepoli museum.

The marble statue of Madonna attracts pilgrims who gather for fifteen consecutive days starting August 1st to touch the statue during prayer sessions.
