Among Italy’s best-kept secrets are a great number of churches, sanctuaries, cathedrals and more general places of worship that would leave any tourist awestruck. We’re talking about cliffside churches, churches whose origins are lost in the depths of history, churches that come from a past with eternal charm. The Sanctuary of the Madonna della Corona is one of these places and is surely the hidden treasure of Ferrara di Monte Baldo.
In this article, you will find all the useful information to inspire and motivate you to visit the Sanctuary of the Madonna della Corona. To get there, you need to exit at Peschiera del Garda. From there, continue towards Spiazzi for 38 km. Once in the village, just follow the signs to the sanctuary and the parking lot.
The parking lots available in Spiazzi are 2, a small paved one at the entrance of the village and a larger unpaved one; both parking lots are paid, with rates around 2 euros per day.
Once at the parking lot, you can choose to take the path/Way of the Cross or use the “shortcut.” In the village, there is a shuttle bus that, during holidays, transports worshippers as close as possible to the sanctuary. The bus schedule tends to vary significantly throughout the year. The climb, however, should not be too daunting for moderately active tourists.
Conclusions
The Sanctuary of the Madonna della Corona is one of Italy’s most captivating sanctuaries. It’s a shame that this monument nestled among the rocks is much less talked about than many other churches. The tranquility you can experience here is unforgettable, which is why we recommend paying it a visit.
