Madonna della Corona Sanctuary: a place suspended between rock and sky

If you are looking for an experience that combines spirituality and natural wonder, the Madonna della Corona Sanctuary is a destination that will leave you breathless. Perched on a vertical wall of Monte Baldo at a height of 774 metres, this sanctuary seems to defy gravity, offering visitors a unique panorama of the Adige Valley and an atmosphere of absolute peace, ideal for those wishing to disconnect from routine.

Staying at the’Castello S. Antonio Hotel in Lazise allows you to reach the Madonna della Corona Sanctuary in about 40 minutes by car (approximately 30 km away). This proximity makes it perfect for an out-of-town excursion dedicated to discovering the hidden treasures of the Veronese hinterland, allowing you to return to the hotel to enjoy the sunset over the lake.

History and mysticism of the Sanctuary Madonna della Corona

The Madonna della Corona Sanctuary boasts a centuries-old history that has its roots in 1522. Here are the elements that make it so special:

• Architecture in the Rock: The church is literally carved into the rock face, with the left wall and the apse formed by the mountain itself, creating an indissoluble bond between the work of man and nature.
• The Holy Staircase: Inside the Madonna della Corona Sanctuary there is a reproduction of the Stairway of Rome, which pilgrims traditionally walk on their knees as a sign of devotion.
• Works of Art: The complex houses bronze sculptures of rare beauty and numerous votive offerings that testify to the deep faith attached to this sacred place.

Staff recommendation: To reach the Madonna della Corona Sanctuary you can choose the comfortable walk from the village of Spiazzi or, for the more sporty, the “Sentiero del Pellegrino” (Pilgrim's Path) that starts in Brentino. On your return to Lazise, the tranquillity of our lake view rooms will be the best way to end this day dedicated to the spirit.
