The Sanctuary of the Madonna di Prada is located in a peripheral area of the municipality of Mapello and took this name from the dialectal form "Madonna dei Prati". This area is called "Isola" because it is bordered between the Brembo and Adda rivers and is immersed in the vast plain on the eastern slopes of Mount Canto.

The Marian sanctuary of Prada is preceded by a long and suggestive tree-lined avenue. The interior is decorated with frescoes, painted in 1956 by the Mapellese painter Natale Bertuletti

This sanctuary in honor of the Mother of God contains two remarkable depictions:
Firstly, the mural (fresco) that shows Mary and her son in a comparatively simple manner, and secondly, a richly decorated statue of the Madonna. Here, too, she is holding the baby Jesus in her arms, but the manner of depiction is completely different: both she and Jesus are wearing a crown, while Mary is holding a scepter in her other hand. Thus, she is shown here as the "Queen of Heaven." This is in keeping with the heavenly hosts painted to the right and left of the niche, who are paying homage to the mother and child.

Very beautiful place and passing through several paths that lead to Sotto il Monte, you can also stop for a picnic
