The monument par excellence of Tignale is the Sanctuary of the Madonna di Montecastello, which stands on a limestone spike overlooking the lake.
Its privileged position offers the visitor unique and spectacular views: the gaze sweeps from the high peaks of Monte Baldo to the Sirmione peninsula, enjoying all the landscapes that embrace the blue of the water.
Recently restored, it is one of the most popular and well-known sacred places in Garda due to its architectural, artistic and landscape beauty.
Built on the ruins of an ancient temple, later transformed into a castle, it houses the "Holy House", a small temple presumably dating back to 800 AD.
In the rich and frescoed interior (frescoes by the Giottesca school), among the many, the largest ex voto in Europe, dating back to the early 1600s, is kept.
The Sanctuary of Montecastello (Sanctuary of the Madonna della Stella) owes its name to the miraculous apparition of a "Star" which ended a bloody battle that took place in Tignale in 1200.
