ITALY
The modern sanctuary of Monte Croce is located in an extraordinarily scenic setting, on top of a 760-metre hill. On 5 October 1949, Our Lady appeared here to nine-year-old Caterina Richero. The sanctuary can be reached on foot or by car, via a dirt road that branches off from the main road to Castelvecchio di Rocca Barbena. The nineteenth-century fort of Poggio Grande, located nearby, also affords a lovely view.
