Sanctuary of the Madonna di Crea

Highlight • Religious Site

On the top of a hill immersed in a splendid landscape of vineyards, stands the Sacro Monte di Crea, founded in 1589. Inspired by the Sacro Monte di Varallo, it was born as a pilgrimage destination and today it is an enchanting place, perfect for walking among the greenery of the protected nature reserve.

Along the route you will encounter 23 chapels and 5 hermitages, among which the evocative chapel of Paradise, dedicated to the Coronation of Mary, stands out. From here, your gaze is lost in a breathtaking panorama that embraces the Alpine chain and the surrounding rolling hills.

Sanctuary of Crea

Highlight • Religious Site

The Sacro Monte di Crea is located on one of the highest hills of Monferrato, near Serralunga di Crea.
A path winds along the slope that leads to the Marian sanctuary and in a wood of oaks and ash trees, it climbs among the roughness of a friable rocky ground until it reaches the chapel of Paradise, located at the top of the hill.

Moncalvo is a town of around 3,000 inhabitants, part of the municipality of Asti. At the end of October, it hosts an important truffle festival: on these days it is possible to appreciate many typical local products. In Moncalvo, Casa Lanfrancone stands out for its beauty, whose façade dates back to the 13th century and was built in Gothic style.
