The Magic Castle in Italy That Looks Like It Came Out of a Fairy Tale

If there was a movie castle Frozen, it would probably be this one. This architectural gem in the Molise region of Italy is probably where fairy tales come true. It is considered a miraculous place by many people and took almost a century to build.

Today the awesome.club tells the story of the Basilica Sanctuary of Our Lady of Sorrows (The Basilica Sanctuary of Our Lady of Sorrows) and tells what is so special about it that makes so many people visit it every year.

For the construction of the sanctuary, the architects worked exclusively with local artists. Everything was carved from regional stone in Castelpetroso. The locals are very proud of the castle and Italians hardly believe that such a treasure can exist in their country. Many decide to visit the site just to confirm that it is indeed real.

Legend has it that two local girls, Serafina and Fabiana, saw the Virgin Mary holding her bleeding child right where the sanctuary was built🇧🇷 They were looking for their lost sheep when they noticed a light coming from cracks in the rocks. Since then, many other people who have visited the region have shared similar stories.

Many tourists come to the place every year to follow the mysterious route taken by the two girls in the mountains. The objective is to find the famous rocks. This route is divided into 7 stages and in each of them there are bronze statues the size of people that tell the life of Jesus. he is called Via Martis of Castelpetroso🇧🇷

Local residents also tell the story of a young man who fell off a cliff and was completely unharmed because the place is holy.

Another story that seems straight out of a novel tells that there were a spring in the rocks and the water cured a 12-year-old boy with tuberculosis and another who was deaf.

A journalist named Carlos Aquaderni was so curious about the water that he decided to visit the spring with his sick son. The boy drank the water and, some time later, Carlos told in a magazine that his son had also been cured by it.

The building design resembles the Iron Throne of Game of Thrones, with one heart-shaped main structure with 7 swords. Here, it is not about 7 kingdoms, but about a construction that resembles the image of the woman that the two girls described.

This place attracts thousands of tourists every year for its beauty and the legends behind its construction.

The good news is that you can stay on site. Well, not inside the castle, because it is a church, but in a hostel or hotel that were built next to the basilica so that all tourists can explore the region a little more.

If you want to know the whole history of one of the most beautiful castles in Italy and the world, there is also an on-site museum that shows all the historical details of the sanctuary.

The region has beautiful natural spaces that make the sanctuary become the ideal destination for many tourists for both spiritual and environmental reasons. In addition to the energy of nature, people praise the view a lot and claim that the place is beautiful to take pictures. Many visit the place to meditate and find some peace and quiet.
