Sabbio Chiese Fortress

Located on a rock spur, from which you can enjoy a breathtaking view, this secular building represents the local people’s devotion to Mary.
It was used as military fortress until 1500, then it was converted to sanctuary.
Somebody says that, on the spur, was found a traditional Mary painting.
Because of this legend, every 10 years, Sabbio Chiese’s inhabitants celebrate a festival which dates back to 1645. So ancient!
