Santuario della Madonna di Picciano, Hilltop sanctuary in Matera, Italy.
The Sanctuary of Madonna di Picciano stands at 440 meters above sea level, surrounded by dense forest near Picciano A district of Matera.
The monastery received recognition through Pope Gregory IX's papal bull in 1238 and subsequent inspection orders from Pope Innocent IV in 1252.
The sanctuary maintains a quarterly publication series and organizes religious conferences, making it a center for theological discussions and education.
The sanctuary opens daily from 7:00 to 13:30 and 15:30 to 20:30, with slightly adjusted hours during holidays and weekends.
The right aisle features a coat of arms with three battlements, connected to Friar Silvio Zurla's family who completed the building in the 17th century.
