| Sacro Monte di Crea, Piemonte |
A World Heritage site, this stunning church is set on a large square. A particular point of interest is its side corridor, which is plastered with drawings and paintings - some quite basic, some very skilled - by ordinary people who have been snatched from death by the Virgin. Depicting hospital beds, exploding truck tires, car accidents, charging bulls and falling from heights, the pictures are touchingly devotional. From here, climb the wooded mountain, stopping at shrines along the way, until you reach ‘Paradise’ at the summit.
