Church of Saint Mary of the Snow

Highlight • Religious Site

Nice sanctuary in the center of Zungri, nearby you will surely find a place to have a drink or relax for a moment. It seems that a painting by the great Raphael is kept inside this church.

The path from the caves is still closed.

The path goes from the …
