Madonna dell'Acqua, Roman Catholic sanctuary in Molino Vecchio, Valbrevenna, Italy.

The Madonna dell'Acqua features a single-nave structure with a portico overlooking the Brevenna stream and contains a marble statue of Madonna with Child.

Following a miraculous healing during the 1584 plague epidemic, locals constructed a wooden chapel near the spring, replaced by the current sanctuary in 1744.

The sanctuary represents the main religious center of Valbrevenna, with annual celebrations taking place every July 2nd drawing visitors from surrounding communities.

Visitors can reach the sanctuary by following the road from Busalla to Casella along the Brevenna stream, with several parking spaces available near the building.

Next to the sanctuary stands a 1908 hospice building, originally constructed to accommodate pilgrims visiting the sacred water source.
