The Sanctuary The large complex, visible for its elevated position with respect to the entire plain, is connected to the street level through a large and suggestive staircase in piperno. The building, constructed in the 17th century around the small original temple, bears the signature of the architect Giovanni Paolo di Ambrogio di San Severino. It has a Greek cross plan with a single nave: in the center of the transept stands a majestic dome. The façade is adorned with a beautiful portal with Corinthian columns. Inside the church there is a small temple built by the feudal lord Girolamo Barone and most likely created by Cosimo Fanzago. In this temple there is a painting of the Madonna, in grotesque style, attributed to the painter Tommaso di Stefano. The octagonal drum of the temple is frescoed with images and episodes of the life of the Madonna. On the outside there are eight false windows, interspersed with images of the eight prophets. On the frame, supported by double pillars, you can admire the frescoes of Belisario Corinzio, representing themes inspired by the Divine Comedy: the Dance of Death, the Last Judgement, Hell and Paradise. To the left of the Sanctuary there is a small cloister, with a central pillar and a canopy, as well as the museum of the sanctuary, which houses the remains of works of art, altar marbles, a wooden pulpit, some chandeliers and the photographic reproduction of the works that were destroyed in the fire of 1989.

Technically, inside the Rio Foce Sarno park you are not allowed to enter by bike and/or electric bike. I entered carrying it in my hand.

On this hilly road between Moschiano and Forino you can enjoy an excellent view of the surrounding hills and, on the clearest days, you can even see the sea.
