The town of Bisacquino

Tourism in Bisacquino

The Sanctuary of Madonna del Balzo


Bisacquino stands out for its particular town-planning which privileges simple shapes of peasant society in which were farmhouses used as granaries, oil-mills, stables.


Also the Sanctuary of Madonna del Balzo follows these linear architectonic marks.


They make relived a foreshortening of rural life typical of village.

The Sanctuary of Madonna del Balzo

Going through a characteristic country path it gets to Sanctuary which is rooted on a cliff, mount Triona, which overlooks below valley.

At the entrance of the path there are two obelisks said "pilieri" and sideways there are 14 masonry crosses.

The Sanctuary was built in 1678 and it is characterized by a central cloister round which buildings of Abbey open themselves. From it we can enjoy a good and suggestive panoramic sight which expandes on wide verdant valley below.
