Madonna di Montecastello
Madonna di Montecastello, Catholic shrine in Tignale, Italy.
The church stands on a rock outcrop above Lake Garda, featuring a white facade and ornate architectural details characteristic of Italian religious structures.
Built upon the remains of an ancient temple converted into a castle, the sanctuary includes the Casa Santa, a small temple dating from 800 AD.
The interior displays frescoes from the Giottesca school and houses one of the largest European ex-votos from the early 1600s behind its main altar.
Visitors can access the sanctuary from March 17 to November 3, with opening hours from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM, through various transport options from Tignale.
The sanctuary received its name from an occurrence in 1200 when a star appeared during a battle in Tignale, leading to its alternative title Madonna della Stella.
