Santuario di San Michele Arcangelo al Monte Faito, Catholic shrine on Monte Faito, Vico Equense, Italy
The sanctuary sits at an elevation of 1,100 meters with stone walls and bronze sculptures depicting Saint Michael, Saint Catello, and Saint Antonino at its entrance.
The current structure was erected between 1937 and 1950, replacing an ancient wooden oratory built in the sixth century by Saints Catello and Antonino.
Two major religious celebrations occur annually: the Dedication feast on July 31 and Saint Michael's feast on September 29.
The sanctuary includes a small shelter for pilgrims and features bells donated by the municipalities of Castellammare di Stabia, Pompei, Pimonte, and Sorrento.
The altar contains a statue of Saint Michael blessed by Pope Pius XII, adorned with a silver sword, diadem, and shield added in 1992.
