Santuario della Madonna della Pietra di Bismantova, also known as Eremo di Bismantova or Sanctuary of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is a striking place of Marian worship nestled directly at the foot of the southern rock face of Pietra di Bismantova, in the municipality of Castelnovo ne' Monti (RE). Located at an altitude of about 947 meters, it represents the focal point of the spirituality of the Reggiano Apennines and is set within the splendid scenery of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines National Park.
