Sacro Monte di Ghiffa, Religious sanctuary in Ghiffa, Italy.

The Sacred Mount of Ghiffa includes three chapels dedicated to the Coronation of Mary, Saint John the Baptist, and Abraham along Lake Maggiore.

Construction of the Trinity Sanctuary began in the late 16th century, expanding a medieval place of worship and continuing until 1617.

The chapels contain detailed frescoes and sculptures depicting Biblical stories and scenes from Jesus's life, representing the regional religious architecture.

The chapels and church remain open from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM starting April 2022, except for the Abraham Chapel.

This Sacred Mount stands as the smallest among Piedmont's Sacri Monti, featuring an eighteenth-century portico of the Via Crucis.
