San Giovanni del Calandrone Sanctuary, Catholic shrine in Merlino, Italy
San Giovanni del Calandrone Sanctuary stands 400 meters southeast from Merlino town, featuring a small church with two L-shaped porticoes surrounding a courtyard with grass.
The first documented mention of the sanctuary dates back to 1261, when it belonged to the parish of Sant'Eufemia di Bariano, a medieval settlement no longer existing.
The sanctuary holds two ancient sarcophagi under its porticoes, with one partially covered sarcophagus allowing water to flow for devoted visitors to collect.
Located at coordinates 45.430805, 9.438826, the sanctuary is accessible through Via San Giovanni and operates under the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lodi.
The sanctuary contains a spring considered miraculous by local residents, maintaining its solitary position in open countryside away from residential areas.
