Madonna del Sangue, Minor basilica and parish church in Re, Piedmont, Italy.
The Madonna del Sangue basilica combines Byzantine Revival and Gothic Revival architectural elements with a large central dome and decorated interior spaces.
In 1494, a small fresco of the Nursing Madonna at this location was struck by a stone and began to bleed, leading to the construction of the first sanctuary.
The sanctuary functions as the primary religious center in Val Vigezzo, drawing numerous pilgrims who participate in regular masses and annual celebrations.
Located at coordinates 46.13042 and 8.54501, the basilica maintains regular visiting hours and conducts religious services throughout the week for both locals and tourists.
Local masons and artisans constructed the entire current structure, which opened in 1958 and received its minor basilica status from Pope Pius XII that same year.
