Nostra Signora di Montenero, Catholic shrine in Riomaggiore, Italy
The church structure stands within the Cinque Terre National Park, featuring three naves and displaying a 16th-century oil painting of the Virgin Mary.
The religious complex dates back to 1847, following earlier mentions from 1335, and underwent multiple structural modifications throughout the 19th century.
The sanctuary hosts two major celebrations: a May 1st procession marking Mary's Month and the Festa dell'Incoronazione on the fourth Sunday of July.
Visitors can purchase the Cinque Terre Card online to access the sanctuary and other park services within the protected natural area.
Local inhabitants present traditional votive offerings called Gli ori di Montenero during the May celebration, demonstrating their religious dedication.
