Santissimo Crocifisso, Catholic sanctuary in Como, Italy.
The Santissimo Crocifisso features a single nave layout in the shape of a Latin cross with Italian Neoclassical and baroque revival architectural elements.
The structure began as Chiesa della Santissima Annunciata in 1236, constructed by canon Erasmo Campanacci in what was then a marshy environment.
European pilgrims returning from Rome in 1399 contributed to the church's transformation by leaving the crucifix that accompanied their religious journey.
The sanctuary welcomes visitors from 6:30 AM to 11:45 AM and 3:00 PM to 6:45 PM on weekdays, with extended hours during weekends and holidays.
The church stands on former marshland and maintains its role as a destination for pilgrims traveling through northern Italy.
