Nostra Signora Porta Paradisi, Neoclassical shrine and church in Asti, Italy
The sanctuary features three naves, two large side chapels, and a 41-meter dome topped with a statue of the Virgin Mary.
The church building, designed by architect Giuseppe Gualandi in 1902, incorporates an ancient gate from the former village of San Marco's walls.
The interior houses a 14th-century fresco by Gandolfino da Roreto depicting the Virgin and Child with Saints Secundus and Marco.
The sanctuary provides winter liturgical celebrations in its 1930 crypt, which contains chapels representing the Nativity and Burial of Christ.
A stone on the rear staircase marks the location of a reported miraculous event, following the path of an old roadway.
