The sanctuary of ‘The Madonna (or ‘Virgin Mary’) of Castelmonte' is one of the most ancient in the Middle-Europe
It was already built in 1200 a.C.. It is located on the beginning southern chain of hills in the Natisone Valleys, at 618 metres a.s.l., 9 km from Cividale del Friuli, 11 km from Prepotto (its municipal district), 6,5 km from San Pietro al Natisone (San Quirino bridge). |
 |
The statue of the Virgin Mary (which is black coloured, as other similar ones in the Middle-Europe) dates back to 1400. The sanctuary (which has also a crypt and an ex voto gallery) is located on the top of a little fortified hamlet that still conserves the ancient wall, the gate and a little paved street.
Several there are the services that the Capuchin friars, who take care of the sanctuary, give to the pilgrims, besides the daily religious ones: lift, rooms for meetings (40-80 seats), two facilities for accommodation and refreshment, two shops for religious articles and souvenirs.
There is also published (and sent everywhere in the world) a bulletin.
