Sanctuary of Santa Maria della Stella at Omignano, documented from 1362, destination of the late-August procession.

The sanctuary of Santa Maria della Stella was originally dedicated to St Mark, as a document of 1362 records. In 1444 a priest asked to withdraw here with two fellow brothers to live as hermits.The building is in rough stone, with an octagonal apse holding the statue of the Madonna. We suggest being here on the Sunday after Ferragosto (15 August), when the procession sets off from the church in Omignano and climbs up to the sanctuary.
