Madonna del Sasso, Switzerland

The Madonna del Sasso is a Marian Pontifical shrine in Orselina, above the city of Locarno in Switzerland. It is the principal sight and goal of religious pilgrimage in the city. It is one of two namesake churches, the other being in Salinas, California, United States. The founding of the sanctuary goes back to the Franciscan friar Bartolomeo de Ivrea who reputedly sighted a Marian apparition on 15 August 1480.

The church interior is highly ornate and decorated, and a platform has panoramic views of the city and Lake Maggiore. The sanctuary is linked to the Locarno city center by the Locarno–Madonna del Sasso funicular. Pope Leo XIII issued a Pontifical decree of coronation on 14 August 1880, which crowned the venerated Marian image via the former Archbishop of Milan, Paolo Angelo Ballerini, following festivities of August 15–16, marking the 400 years of its Marian apparition.
