カルタヴトゥーロ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

マドンナ・デッラルト聖域は、マドンナ・デッラルト山（標高1819m）の頂上にあるマドーニエ（シチリア）のキリスト教の礼拝所であり、聖母マリアが崇拝されています。 聖域は教会、祭具室、巡礼者を収容する部屋を備えた隠者の住居で構成されています。聖域の起源は古く、おそらく13世紀頃にさかのぼります。

モンテ・アルト山の頂上、標高1,819メートルの高台に位置するマドンナ・デッラルト聖域は、シチリア全土で最も魅力的で精神的に深いマリア崇拝の場所の一つです。

Polizziからの登りは険しく、歩行以外ではほとんど進むことができない砂利道を通過します。

The Sanctuary of the Madonna dell'Alto, located at 1,819 meters on Monte Alto, is one of the highest Marian shrines in Italy and offers a sweeping view of Sicily. On clear days, it is said that from here you can see much of the island, all the way to Mount Etna, and sometimes even the sea.

What a fantastic view from up here! (360°). A wooden sign marks the summit (Sicily's second highest!). The path is steep on all sides but always easy to walk, never really exposed; only loose rocks could pose a problem. The area was apparently quite busy in the past (ski lifts, etc.), but nature is slowly reclaiming the infrastructure...great beech "groves"!

"In 2012, a man named Salvo Valenti claimed to have had visions of the Archangel Michael, who ordered him to place a painting of St. Michael in a wooden votive shrine near a spring in the Madonie mountains, at an altitude of 1,300 meters. This site has become a pilgrimage destination, even though the Curia does not officially recognize it as a sanctuary. The story is shrouded in mystery and devotion, and the painting continues to inspire the faithful who go there to pray and reflect."

Unfortunately, when I visited in May 2024 it was completely covered in clouds. But normally there is a fantastic view of the Madonie.
