Shrine of Our Lady of Mercy of Montaldero

In the silence of the woods that envelop the valley of the same name, two kilometers from the bustle of Arquata Scrivia, stands the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Mercy of Montaldero. This sacred place rests on a plateau that affords unparalleled panoramic views and lies at the foot of the mountain where the medieval castle of Montaldo once stood.

The religious building is imbued with a special affection linked to the Marian cult of the people of Arquato, who in times of war saw in the Madonna of Montaldero a symbol of protection and hope. The vow of the population during World War II, when the danger of bombing was pressing, inextricably linked the community to this shrine, making it a bastion of faith and a spiritual refuge.

The Shrine of Montaldero, with its history and evocative location, represents a place of pilgrimage and contemplation for the faithful and anyone wishing to find peace and serenity in the shadow of Our Lady of Mercy.
