Carved into rock. Frequented only by Veronesi. Breathtaking view
Sanctuary of Madonna di Lourdes
On the right bank of the Adige, carved directly into the limestone of the hill, the Sanctuary of Madonna di Lourdes is reached by a staircase that climbs above the rooftops of Verona. It's open, silent, frequented by devout Veronesi and morning runners who use the stairs as training. The view from the top over the bend of the Adige and the terracotta rooftops is the kind that stops your breath. No tourist goes there. No guide mentions it. Perfect.
Visitor Tip
The staircase is steep but short. Morning runners use the stairs as training. The view from the top over the bend of the Adige and the terracotta rooftops is the kind that stops your breath. No tourist goes there. No guide mentions it. Perfect.
