Sanctuary of Vicoforte Mondovi, Cuneo, Italy # 10

The Sanctuary of Regina Monte Reale Basilica in Vicoforte Mondovi- Cuneo, Italy.

 

This great building, started in 1596, was completed in 1733.

Here a detail of the facade.

The author and executor of the first part of the project, Ascanio Vitozzi, an architect from Orvieto, Italy, carried out the work in a neoclassical style using sandstone.
