Sanctuary of St. Patrick

Sanctuary of St. Patrick

Description

Located on a hill near Colzate, visible as you go along Valle Seriana between Vertova and Casnigo, the sanctuary of San Patrizio includes a very old little church of the end of the XIII century.

Vertically isolated so to seem an ancient small fortress, the sanctuary was built in 1580 and finished about twenty years later.

Every year on occasion of Corpus Christi day, in Gandino a grand procession takes place to which take part the confraternities and the inhabitants from the whole area. In Gandino there is the gorgeous Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta, which has in its museum a considerable artistic heritage.
