Madonna della Corona
The Shrine of the Madonna della Corona is a place of silence and meditation, extended between heaven and earth, hidden in the heart of the Monte Baldo cliffs. Medieval documents testify that hermits lived in the Monte Baldo area already around the year 1000 and that at least from the second half of the 13th century there was a monastery with a chapel dedicated to St Mary of Monte Baldo.
The church does not actually hang on the sheer face but instead sits on a thin rock shelf that can only be reached by a thin path.
In 1974 the architect Guido Tisato was assigned the job of preparing a project for an overall intervention that foresaw demolishing the existing church, while preserving its most important and significant parts, and the construction of a larger structure. Demolition and reconstruction of the Shrine were carried out from 1975 to 1978.
