Santuario della Madonna dei Miracoli

The Sanctuary of the Madonna of Miracles is a shrine and church in Saronno with a distinctive central dome and four side chapels that define its layout. The interior walls are adorned with large frescoes painted by renowned Italian artists, filling the space with color and religious imagery.

Construction of the shrine began in 1498 following a reported vision of the Virgin Mary in a local resident's dream. This miracle became the foundation for the site's development as an important religious destination and place of pilgrimage.

The shrine draws visitors seeking blessings and spiritual connection, with the Madonna venerated as a source of divine intervention. People gather here to pray and participate in the devotional life that has centered on this place for centuries.

The shrine opens in the early morning on weekdays and closes for a midday break before reopening in the afternoon. On Sundays the evening hours are extended for visitors.

The dome displays a remarkable painted group of angel musicians performing an ensemble piece, creating one of the most eye-catching details overhead. This elaborate angelic orchestra above visitors' heads offers a distinctive visual experience rarely seen in other churches.
