Santuario di Valmala, Catholic shrine in Busca, Italy.

The Santuario di Valmala stands at 1,378 meters elevation on a plateau in the Varaita Valley within the Cuneo province of Piedmont.

The sanctuary construction completed in 1851 by architect Giacomo Galfre incorporates both the original pillar from 1835 and a chapel built in 1840.

The sanctuary holds the statue of Madonna of Valmala, which Bishop Egidio Luigi Lanzo crowned as Queen of the Diocese in August 1946.

Two adjacent buildings, the Old Palace and New Palace, constructed in the late 1800s and 1925 respectively, provide accommodation for visiting pilgrims.

The interior features a fresco depicting the Madonna's appearance above the exact stone where four shepherdesses reported seeing her in 1834.
