Nostra Signora di Reggio Sanctuary, Religious sanctuary in Vernazza, Italy.
The sanctuary stands on a hilltop, featuring a stone Romanesque facade with Baroque decorations and three naves arranged in a Latin cross plan.
Built before the 11th century on ancient prayer grounds, the sanctuary was first documented in 1248 under the name Santa Maria and renamed Reggio by 1318.
The sanctuary contains a 14th-century Tuscan painting of the Black Madonna with Child Jesus, which has been associated with healing events since 1615.
Visitors can access the sanctuary through a two-kilometer paved path from Vernazza railway station, passing through cultivated terraces and Stations of the Cross.
The sanctuary grounds include an 800-year-old cypress tree, measuring 23 meters in height and 4 meters in diameter, recognized as the oldest in Liguria.
