Santuario della Madonna della Sanità di Volturara Appula

The beautiful sanctuary dedicated to the patron saint Madonna Santissima della Sanità is located not far from the village, on the road that goes towards Motta Montecorvino.

The place

Local tradition has it that the sacred building was built by the Marquis Bartolomeo Caracciolo as a sign of gratitude for being unharmed after a bad fall from a horse occurred in that place.

It appears on the roadside, among the green nature that surrounds it, with a white facade characterized by simple and clean lines, dating back to the sixteenth century, on whose side stands a beautiful bell tower.

Inside, with a single nave and a soberly Baroque taste, is kept the wooden statue of the Madonna, precious because it is considered by the devotees of miracles.
