Ancient in Umbria

An old well outside the ancient Italian Sanctuary, Santuario della Madonna di Mongiovino near the town of Tavernelle in Umbria. Building of the church started in 1524 but was not completed until about 200 years later. The sanctuary was built to replace a chapel that contained the shrine with a "miraculous" image of the Madonna.

 

As usual, the lovely texture of the stonework shows up better on black.
