Always nice to escape a little bit from Milano's crowded attractions and swarms of tourists. This place is a fresh breath of history and stunning views.
Very nice sanctuary in the mountain above Biella. The sightseeing is wonderful. I absolutely suggest it

An amazing location and impressive sanctuary. Although during our visit the weather changed rapidly and started raining heavily and fog was obstructing the view, it is an inspiring setting. We were very fortunate to attend a mass service in the Ancient Basilica which was very...More
