Sacro Monte di Ossuccio, Religious sanctuary in Tremezzina, Italy
The Sacro Monte features fourteen chapels arranged along an ascending path leading to the sanctuary, overlooking Lake Como and Comacina Island.
Construction of the religious complex began in 1537, with major developments between 1635 and 1710, transforming a former Roman pagan site dedicated to Ceres.
The chapels contain 230 terracotta and stucco statues created by local artists, depicting various scenes from the Mysteries of the Rosary.
Visitors can explore the site using a dedicated mobile application that provides detailed information about the history and layout of the religious complex.
The sanctuary's marble floor, dating from 1655, combines black and white patterns, leading to an altar featuring a fresco of Madonna and Child from 1501.
