Basilica dell'Eremo, Minor basilica on Eremo hill in Reggio Calabria, Italy.
The Basilica dell'Eremo stands at the highest point of Reggio Calabria, featuring a combination of Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements throughout its structure.
The basilica's construction began in the mid-1500s with a cloister and convent, followed by renovations in 1965 by architect Anna Sbaraccani Anastasi after the 1908 earthquake.
The Grande Vara della Madre Consolazione, a 5-meter-tall artwork from the 16th century weighing 12 tonnes, remains the centerpiece of religious processions.
Visitors can access the basilica via Via Eremo, where they will find both the main sanctuary and expansive views across Reggio Calabria and the Strait of Messina.
For nine months each year, the sacred effigy of Madonna della Consolazione resides in this basilica before moving to the Cathedral during autumn celebrations.
