Madonna della Rocchetta, Religious sanctuary in Paderno d'Adda, Italy
The Madonna della Rocchetta church stands on a rocky hill between the Adda River and the Paderno Canal, featuring Romanesque architectural elements.
In 1386, Milanese doctor Beltrando da Cornate funded the construction of the church on the remains of a Roman castrum from the 5th century.
The sanctuary belongs to the Saint Augustine Path, connecting 50 Marian sanctuaries across the Brianza region of northern Italy.
The church and its underground chambers, formerly inhabited by friars, are open to visitors through arrangements with curator Fiorenzo Mandelli.
Archaeological excavations between 1998 and 2000 revealed a water cistern dating back to the early Middle Ages beneath the church structure.
