Madonna di Sombreno, Religious shrine in Paladina, Italy.

The sanctuary consists of two connected churches on a hill overlooking the Brembo Valley, featuring a stone portal with modulated stuccoes depicting God.

The first documentation of this religious site dates back to 1093, mentioning a small chapel called Santa Maria di Brene within Breno Castle.

The church displays artworks from notable painters, including Pietro Baschenis' frescoes and Antonio Zanchi's Nativity canvas from the 17th century.

Visitors can reach the sanctuary through a stepped path marked by seven devotional chapels constructed in 1920.

The church houses a large cetacean bone, measuring 1.80 meters, which hangs from the ceiling and dates between 1432 and 1591.
