Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Guard at Passo della Cisa

The church is located at the top of a steep staircase just after the Passo della Cisa.
The church was built between 1919 and 1922 by Eugenia and Flavio Fasce, and designed by the famous architect Lamberto Cusani. The church was consecrated on August 16, 1921. However, the first mass was already celebrated in September 1920, when the construction work was almost completed.
The church has a single nave with an attached bell tower. In 1926 the bell tower was demolished to build a deambulatory around the building, which was connected to the nave through four openings. The church thus took its current shape, and the following year the bell tower was also rebuilt, now separate from the church.
The church was declared a Marian shrine in 1930 and has since attracted hundreds of pilgrims from Tuscany, Emilia and Liguria every year on August 29.
