ヴィッラドッソラ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

聖フランチェスコ・ダッシジは、今年で没後800年を迎えます。彼は使徒ペテロの言葉を借りて、私たちのキリスト教生活を次のように描写しています。「裏切り者を友人と呼ばれ、自ら十字架につける者たちに身を委ねたキリストの足跡に従うよう」私たちを招いておられます（参照 NbR XXII, 2; 参照 1 ペテロ 2,21）。貧しいフランチェスコは、イエスに目を向けるよう私たちを励ましています。「兄弟たちよ、羊を救うために十字架の苦しみを受けた善き羊飼いに注意しよう」（Erm VI）。 したがって、この十字架の道において、聖フランチェスコの招きに応え、イエスの足跡に従おうではありませんか。それは、儀式的あるいは知的なレベルだけでなく、私たちの全存在と全生涯をもって従うのです。「自らを体をもって捧げ、その聖なる十字架を担い、その最も聖なる戒めを最後まで従いなさい」（Off XV 13）。 （2026年4月3日、ローマのコロッセオにて、聖父レオ14世による十字架の道の黙想の序文より）

From a Celtic and Roman sanctuary to the Matarella fortress and a Capuchin monastery, this spiritual place tells an amazing story.

Built in the 1920s.

In 1656, two Capuchins chose the hill of Colle Mattarella, above Domodosso, to make it a place of pilgrimage. Twelve chapels were built, each with a statue or fresco depicting the Stations of the Cross, with an additional chapel depicting the Resurrection of Christ. At the top of Colle Mattarella stands the octagonal Sanctuary of the Holy Cross, the construction of which began in 1657. In the park of the Sacro Monte di Domodossola are the remains of the Mattarella Castle, destroyed in 1415 by Swiss soldiers who wanted to conquer the Ossola Valley and take it from the Duchy of Milan. In 1656, two Capuchins from the Domodossola monastery, Father Gioacchino from Cassano and Father Andrea from Rho, decided to have Stations of the Cross built on the slopes of Colle Mattarella, leading to a church dedicated to the Holy Cross. It was planned to gradually replace the crosses with chapels for the individual Stations of the Cross. Bishop Guido Maria Odescalchi commissioned the legal scholar Giovanni Matteo Capis to coordinate the project and named the hill Monte Calvario ("Calvary"), as the places of worship of the Sacri Monti ("holy mountains") were intended to symbolize the sites in the Holy Land that many pilgrims could not or could no longer reach. The construction work and the technical implementation were entrusted to the architect Tomaso Lazzaro from the Val d'Intelvi. The foundation stone for the pilgrimage site was laid on July 8, 1657, and in March 1662 the first Holy Mass was celebrated at the altar on which a crucifix by Dionigi Bussola had just been erected. A great benefactor and financier of the project was Kaspar Stockalper, a merchant, notary and governor from the Valais who was forced into exile in Domodossola, directly on Monte Calvario, where his figure embodies St. Gaspar, one of the Three Kings, in the 15th chapel of the Sacro Monte. The project to build the chapels was completed in the course of the 18th century; their furnishings have been constantly restored or renewed since then; the most recent statues, from 1957, are carved in wood.
