Santuario della Madonna di Corzano Bagno di Romagna

One of the most suggestive religious sights in Bagno di Romagna is the Santuario della Madonna di Corzano, located on Corzano Hill, at 678 meters above sea level. The sanctuary was constructed in the middle of the 1800s to house and worship an image of the “Madonna and Child”, represented in a 14th century fresco. The work was found within a small church that stood among the ruins of an abandoned castle in the area. According to legend, the people invoked the Madonna of Corzano in 1835 to put an end to the disastrous earthquakes that were destroying the area. The earthquakes stopped and devotion to the image has been strong ever since.

The small church underwent extensive renovations and became the suggestive spot that it is today. The sanctuary of Corzano is considered a serene oasis where nature, faith and history come together such that the location is a favored destination for pilgrims, but also for those who simply wish to take a walk in beauty. It is a typical mountain sanctuary, though it is original in its asymmetrical conformation and its low, massive walls. A number of festivities take place on this suggestive hill, overlooking the Savio Valley.
