Sanctuary of Madonna del Caravaggio in Deggia

For the locals, Deggia is an intimate place, in balance between nature and spirituality. Peace and silence reign here.

In the nineteenth century, the small community of farmers and shepherds, who survived the cholera epidemic, made a vow to build a capital in honour of San Rocco. The faithful arrived en masse and for this reason it was decided to build a chapel dedicated to the Blessed Virgin of Caravaggio.

Today it is a destination for pilgrimages: the Camino di San Vili and the Sentiero Frassati pass through here.

Getting there on foot is the best option to respect the silence of the place. If you are not a walker, we recommend you to use the car: the buses do not arrive here.

At the tourist office you can pick up the small paper guide to discover the other churches in the villages of Banale.
