Basilica of Our Lady of the Well, Minor basilica in Capurso, Italy
The Basilica di Santa Maria del Pozzo displays white marble floors, multicolored marble altars, and a local tuff stone facade with baroque architectural elements.
Construction of the basilica began on July 5, 1750, following the discovery of a Byzantine icon of the Madonna by Don Domenico Tanzella in 1705.
The basilica maintains its status as one of southern Italy's primary centers for Marian religious tourism, drawing numerous pilgrims throughout the year.
The basilica functions as an active religious center with daily masses, regular prayer sessions, and special ceremonies scheduled according to the liturgical calendar.
Pope Gregory XVI declared the main altar dedicated to Santa Maria del Pozzo as a Perpetual Daily Privileged altar in 1839.
