Formerly called the "Oratory of Our Lady and Elizabeth in the Wood of Perello", the Sanctuary of the Our Lady of Monte Perello is located in the Parish of Algua, on the road from Selvino to the Seriana Valley.
Composed of three overlapping churches, it stands on the slopes of Mount Perello, from which it takes its name, in an enchanting setting immersed in the green of the woods and inside it is rich in works of art and antique furniture.
It is one of the oldest sanctuaries in Bergamo: the structure dates back to the 16th century and its origin dates back to 1413, when the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to a local farmer. On July 2nd, the anniversary of the Apparition is celebrated.
The Shrine is opened on Easter Monday and closed on November 1st, All Saints Day. It is open every day during the summer months and only on Saturday afternoons and Sundays during the rest of the year.
