Monte Compatri

Sanctuary of the Madonna del Castagno

Adjacent to the Convent of San Silvestro is the tiny Sanctuary of the Madonna del Castagno, built in 1680, an important place of prayer for the Carmelite Fathers.

TEMPORARILY CLOSED.

Inside you can see a trunk of chestnut wood with an image of the Madonna, who is worshipped for the blessings received throughout the centuries, one of which was the protection of Monte Compatri against the cholera outbreak in 1867.
