"The sanctuary of the Beata Vergine di Castelmonte (Madone di Mont in Friulian, Stara Gora or" ancient mountain "in Slovenian) is located in Castelmonte, a hamlet of Prepotto (UD). It rises 618 m close to the Julian Alps, 7 km from Cividale del Friuli.

Its origins lie in primitive Christianity. According to a reliable tradition, the place where the sanctuary stands, due to its dominant position between the Natisone and Judrio valleys, was the seat of a Roman garrison in defense of the city of Forum Iulii (today Cividale del Friuli) from the barbarian invasions started in the 5th century.

It is assumed that, at first, the sacred place consisted of a small chapel carved into the rock and dedicated to the Madonna and to St. Michael the Archangel. The site of Castelmonte was also used by the local population as a refuge on the occasion of the invasions (Huns, Goths, Lombards, Avars and Slavs).

The locality, over time, and also due to the increasing devotion to the Virgin Mary of the community of nearby Aquileia, expanded to become a fortified village that surrounded the chapel, with perspective walls, stairways and various stone buildings. "
