Santuario di San Francesco di Paola, Minor basilica and shrine in Paola, Italy.

The Santuario di San Francesco di Paola stands at 178 metres above sea level in the upper, hilly part of Paola, in a valley beside a stream. Its old basilica, from the 16th century, has a large, rather bare main hall and a single right-hand aisle with four chapels, ending in a rich Baroque chapel that holds the saint's relics. A new basilica, finished in 2000, faces the large square.

Saint Francis of Paola established a hermitage at this location between 1435 and 1452, which later became a major pilgrimage center. The site gradually developed into a religious complex with a church, monastery, and cave structures.

The cloister, glazed toward the outside, holds the Roseto del Santo, now a dense garden, and its inner walls carry frescoes of the main episodes of the saint's life, many drawn from legends. Beside it stands the romitorio of 1436, the cramped underground rooms that formed the first monastic nucleus of Francis and his companions.

The sanctuary stands at 178 m in the upper, hilly part of Paola, in a valley beside a stream. From the large square in front, the main entrance leads through two semi-open spaces with 16th–20th-century plaques into the old basilica. The Via dei Miracoli starts at an arch right of that entrance and continues past the saint's kiln and the Fonte della cucchiarella to the Devil's Bridge and the Grotta della Penitenza.

On the Via dei Miracoli, reached through an arch to the right of the old basilica's entrance, an unexploded bomb dropped by Anglo-American aircraft in August 1943 lies where it fell in the stream bed without detonating. The same path passes the furnace where Francis baked the bricks for the sanctuary.
