Sacri Monti: a spiritual journey between Piedmont and Lombardy

Aug 19, 2023 226

Nature, sacred art and spirituality are the main features of a journey through the nine Sacri Monti of Piedmont and Lombardy, established from the 15th century as religious sites alternative to the traditional (but distant) territories of the Holy Land.

Here are nine itineraries by which we’ll discover both the historical role and the mystical side of these extraordinary complexes, which have been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2003. Our route will start from the Sacri Monti of Piedmont (Varallo, the first to be established in 1480; Domodossola; Ghiffa; Orta; Oropa; Belmonte; Crea), to finally arrive at the sanctuaries of Ossuccio and Varese, in Lombardy.
