https://www.santuaritaliani.it/santuario/madonna-dellalto/ 마돈나 델 알토 성소는 마돈나 델 알토 산 정상(해발 1819m) 마도니에(시칠리아)에 있는 기독교 예배 장소로, 성모 마리아를 숭배합니다. 성소는 교회, 성구실, 순례자 숙박 시설을 갖춘 은둔처로 구성되어 있습니다. 성소는 먼 옛날부터 유래했지만, 아마도 약 13세기경으로 거슬러 올라갑니다.

산타 마리아 델토 성소는 시칠리아 전역에서 가장 매력적이고 영적으로 강렬한 마리아 숭배 장소 중 하나입니다. 몬테 알토 정상의 해발 1,819미터라는 높은 고도에 자리 잡고 있습니다.

Polizzi에서 올라가는 길은 힘들며, 걷는 것 외에는 거의 진행할 수 없는 자갈밭을 통과합니다.

The dedication of this shrine, dedicated to the Madonna, refers to the town of Loreto. This is one of the major and most important Marian pilgrimage sites in Europe, along with Lourdes in the French Pyrenees and Fatima in Portugal. Unlike the other two, however, Loreto is not known for apparitions of the Virgin Mary. There, pilgrims can see something very tangible: the house where Mary grew up in Nazareth (Israel). Her parents—not mentioned by name in the biblical writings of the New Testament—are named in apocryphal traditions: Saint Anne and Saint Joachim are thus the grandparents of Jesus Christ (their feast day in the liturgical calendar is July 26). It is likely that Crusaders, as the era of the Christian kingdoms in the Holy Land came to an end towards the end of the 13th century, dismantled the venerated building in Nazareth and transported it to Europe. However, this very sober assumption is contrasted by a much more interesting legend: According to this legend, four angels carried out the translation and flew the house across the Mediterranean.

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.

Castelbuono Castle, a symbol of this small town in the Palermo hinterland. And it couldn't be otherwise, given its grandeur and the glorious history that ties it to the very life of Castelbuono even today. The castle was commissioned by the Ventimiglia family, one of the richest and most noble families in Sicily, whose ties are not only to the castle, but to the very existence of the town of Castelbuono. There is little information about the origins of Castelbuono, but we know that in 1269, King Charles of Anjou confiscated the feudal state of Geraci from the Ventimiglia family, forcing the then head of the family, Alduino, to find new accommodation for the inhabitants of his village. The settlement was married to Ipsigro, an ancient Byzantine farmhouse, which once stood where the center of Castelbuono stands today.

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"!

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