Description
High above the town of Riomaggiore in the Cinque Terre region of Italy lies the Shrine of Our Lady of Montenero. Every village in the region has its personal Sanctuary to which the residents are attached by a deep devotion. The others are sanctuary of Our Lady of Health in Volastra, the shrines of Our Lady of Grace and Our Lady of Reggio in Vernazza and the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Soviore in Monterosso al Mare. Riomaggiore’s sanctuary is accessible only through a mule track and sits 340 meters above sea level. The hike from Riomaggiore is about an hour. Today it is a popular hiking destination since you can enjoy a magnificent view on the Cinque Terre coast up all the way to Punta del Mesco. The entire Cinque Terre region is part of a UNESCO World Heritage area.
