Santuario della Madonna del Perello

Santuario della Madonna del Perello, 15th century Catholic sanctuary in Rigosa, Algua, Italy

The Santuario della Madonna del Perello is a sanctuary nestled in the mountains of Algua featuring three distinct church buildings constructed across different periods. The complex displays various architectural styles that reflect its long developmental history.

The sanctuary's origins trace back to 1413 when reports of Marian apparitions emerged among the local faithful. These early events prompted the construction of the first chapel and later shaped the development of the entire complex.

The sanctuary serves as a place of popular devotion where both pilgrims and locals gather regularly. Marian worship holds a central role here, reflected in religious traditions that continue to be observed today.

The sanctuary is accessible via the SP 28 road that runs through surrounding villages. Parking is available near the complex, and the mountain location requires careful driving on winding roads.

The sacred site holds a distinctive botanical connection, as a tree reportedly played an unusual role during the religious events of 1413. This natural phenomenon shaped local tradition and continues to draw visitor attention today.
