Sanctuary of the Madonna of Lussari

The sanctuary of the Madonna del Lussari is a sacred place located on Mount Lussari, where the Carnic and Julian Alps meet. Its history has its roots in the 13th century, when, according to legend, a shepherd found an image of the Madonna at the top of the mountain. The current sanctuary was built in the 15th century and became an important place of pilgrimage.

The climb to the sanctuary is an exciting challenge. The challenging route crosses winding paths, woods and mountain slopes. However, the effort of the climb is rewarded not only by the surrounding natural beauty, but also by the spirituality and history that surround the sanctuary.

The climb to the sanctuary is tiring but it is worth it. You can also go up or down by cable car.
