Santuario della Madonna del Transito di Canoscio

The Santuario della Madonna del Transito stands on a hill in Città di Castello, featuring a Senese school fresco of the Virgin Mary's transition.

In 1348, Vanni di Jacopo left 40 soldi in his testament to paint a devotional image of the Virgin Mary during a severe plague outbreak.

The sanctuary holds daily masses and religious ceremonies, maintaining centuries-old Catholic traditions that connect the local community with their spiritual heritage.

The basilica opens daily with four Sunday masses at 9:00, 11:00, 16:30, and 18:00, while weekday services occur at 9:00 and 18:00.

Architect Emilio De Fabris, known for Florence Cathedral's Gothic facade, designed this minor basilica, completed in 1878 after the original chapel's demolition.
