Diocesan sanctuary of the Immaculate Heart of Mary at Varco Notar Ercole, Sassano, a parish church built after the Second World War.

In the hamlet of Varco Notar Ercole, in the territory of Sassano, stands the Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, seat of the parish of the same name in the diocese of Teggiano-Policastro and now a diocesan sanctuary. The building is recent: according to the census of Italian churches it was built between the 1950s and 1960s, with later works on the presbytery and roof.We like it because it expresses the Marian devotion of the Vallo di Diano in a contemporary key, far from the great historic complexes but very much alive in the community. We suggest dropping by for the patronal feast organised by the village's faithful, when the square comes alive and the sanctuary becomes the heart of the hamlet's life.
