The Basilica of Santa Maria di Monte Berico is an important Roman Catholic pilgrimage church located on the hill of Monte Berico. Its origins date back to two apparitions of the Virgin Mary, which are said to have appeared to the peasant woman Vincenza Pasini in 1426 and 1428 during a plague epidemic. Mary promised to spare the town if a church were built there, which the population immediately did. The original Gothic church was completed in just three months. The current basilica was built between 1688 and 1703 according to plans by Carlo Borella in the Baroque style, with the Gothic structure incorporated into the new building. The façade was redesigned in the Neo-Gothic style in 1860. Particularly striking are the three symmetrical Baroque façades with 42 figures of saints and three bas-reliefs by Orazio Marinali, as well as the bell tower by Antonio Piovene, erected in 1825. Access from the city is via a 700-meter-long staircase with 150 arches, symbolizing the 15 mysteries of the Rosary and 150 Hail Marys. The basilica is an important center of Marian devotion, attracting numerous pilgrims, and was elevated to a minor basilica by Pope Pius X in 1904.

An "iconic" place in Vicenza, from which you can enjoy a wonderful view of the city.

promontory of the city, an ideal place for the beginning of a tour and why not, also as a finale.

The climb is simply beautiful, with a good view every time. Somewhat steeper sections are followed by flatter ones, with the surface mostly gravel that is easy to ride on. There is only a short road up to there.

The perimeter tour of the lake is also beautiful

Nice place but quite chaotic

Well-equipped green area to take a break and relax. Near the lake you can find a bar and on busy days also street food vans.
