Monte Santo di Lussari, Mountain summit in Tarvisio, Italy

Monte Santo di Lussari is a 1,790 m summit of the Julian Alps in the municipality of Tarvisio, south of Camporosso. On top stands a cluster of white-plastered buildings with dark grey shingled roofs, the tallest being the church with its square bell tower, pointed spire and cross. Around it, connected houses with wooden balconies and small rectangular windows step down the slope along a paved walkway and a low curving wall.

A first chapel was built in 1360 where tradition holds a statue of the Madonna and Child was found; no trace of it remains. The present church dates from between 1500 and 1600, was struck by lightning in 1807 and bombed in 1915, and was fully restored for the Jubilee in 2000. It is called the church "of the three peoples" because German-, Romance- and Slavic-speaking pilgrims all visit it.

The sanctuary is called "of the three peoples" because German-, Romance- (Friulian and Italian) and Slavic-speaking pilgrims have long come here. Along the pilgrimage path from Camporosso stand seven Stations of the Cross chapels with images by the Slovene painter Tone Kralj, the full set placed by the church at the top.

A modern cable car system carries visitors year-round from Camporosso to the summit, with extra services during skiing and hiking seasons. Taking the cable car saves time if you want to reach the top without a long walk.

The pilgrimage path from Camporosso has only seven Stations of the Cross chapels, built at the start of World War II, with images by the Slovene painter Tone Kralj; the full set stands at the summit beside the church. The cable car from Camporosso runs 3,070 m and takes about 15 minutes to reach 1,760 m.
