Witnesses of this are not only dozens of beautiful churches dotted around the city and its province, but, on top of everything, the majestic Saint Mary Sanctuary in Mount Berico, situated at the top of the hill that tower above the entire city.
Site of great charming, one of the most suggestive in the world, the Sanctuary guards extremely precious sacred relics, jewels, the Saint Mary crown and other inestimable pieces of art. Witnesses and custodians of these ancient traditions are the spiritual and religious communities of friares that have handed on the meaning and the value of the religious Spirit over centuries.
