SACRO MONTE CALVARIO Domodossola
A PLACE YOU WON’T FORGET
Located in the quiteness of the Alps, Sacro Monte Calvario is a place of peace and spirituality that can
offer precious and unique experiences. Here Blessed Antonio Rosmini founded the
Institute of Charity on 20th February 1828. Things that contribute
to make it a special place are the long Way of The Cross, with the artistic
Chapels that reproduce in full size the scenes of the Passion of Jesus, the
Shrine of the Holy Crucifix, various other little Churches and Chapels, the
Convent of the Rosminian Comunity, the panoramic gardens of the Belvedere, the remains of the Medieval
Castle of Mattarella. Since 2003 Sacro Monte Calvario is part of the
UNESCO artistic and naturalistic sites considered patrimonies of the humanity.
