A church from 1688 on Ariano Irpino's royal road, a Marian sanctuary under royal patronage since 1696, with a feast on 16 July.

The church of the Madonna del Carmine was built in 1688 along the old royal road that crossed Ariano. Its careful finishing earned it royal patronage as early as 1696: an important honour for such a young building. Today it is a parish church and diocesan Marian sanctuary, a landmark for the whole neighbourhood.We like its history, tied to the travellers and merchants passing along the road to Apulia. On 16 July the feast of the Madonna del Carmine draws worshippers and visitors, together with the traditional fair. We suggest stopping by to discover one of the places of devotion dearest to the people of Ariano.
