The Madonna De La Salette Sanctuary was built in 1860 on the hill overlooking the inhabited area of Fumane in 1860. That year, an epidemic of downy mildew devastated the vineyards of the valley. To put an end to the epidemic, the inhabitants made a vow to build a sancutary dedicated to the Madonna de la Salette.
The beautiful square in front of the church dominates the entire valley of Fumane and Valpolicella.
The Sanctuary can be reached by car or on foot along a path of about 450 meters that goes through a pine wood.
