Santuario di Altino, Baroque church in Albino, Italy

The Santuario della Beata Vergine del Monte Altino sits at 900 meters elevation, with three naves and intersecting vaults in its interior structure.

The sanctuary construction began in 1496 following a reported Marian apparition, with major expansions occurring in the early 17th century as marked by a 1611 entrance beam.

The sanctuary maintains religious traditions through regular masses, pilgrimages, and ceremonies, particularly during the Feast of the Immaculate Conception on December 8th.

Visitors can reach the sanctuary via an asphalt road from Albino or through walking paths from Passo del Colle Gallo, with guided tours available.

The sanctuary features a golden statue of the Virgin Mary on its bell tower, created in 1989 using gold objects donated by faithful followers.
