We\u2019ve decided to add the church at this point because it lies directly on the cycle route just before it goes down towards Vicenza along a monu-mental road, and we wouldn\u2019t expect cyclists to make their way back up to see it. This imposing structure, topped by a cu-pola and flanked by a tall brick campanile, dominates the city\u2019s skyline. The large terrace nearby guarantees an extraordinary view of Vicenza and the surrounding countryside stretching out below you, and you can see as far as the Dolomites in the north.
\nThe Basilica was erected to celebrate apparitions of the Virgin Mary reported to have taken place in 1426 and 1428. As the plague was ravaging the city at that time, citizens vowed to build a church if the plague ended, which is what happened. The church is still visited by many pilgrims, and the collection of votive offerings made by the faithful as thanks for their prayers being answered is fascinating. The basilica contains many important works of art, including Paolo Veronese\u2019s enor-mous masterpiece The Supper of Saint Gregory.<\/p>\n","modified":"2020-02-20T16:14:59","color":"","icon":"","noDetails":false,"noInteraction":false,"taxonomy":{"webmapp_category":[12,5,3]},"accessibility":{"mobility":{"check":false,"description":""},"hearing":{"check":false,"description":""},"vision":{"check":false,"description":""},"cognitive":{"check":false,"description":""},"food":{"check":false,"description":""}},"locale":"it","source":"https:\/\/girolibero.webmapp.it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/poi\/56052","wp_edit":"http:\/\/girolibero.webmapp.it\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=56052&action=edit","web":"https:\/\/girolibero.webmapp.it\/poi\/1-santuario-di-monte-berico\/","addr:street":"","addr:housenumber":"","addr:postcode":"","addr:city":"","contact:phone":"","contact:email":"","opening_hours":"","capacity":""},"geometry":{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.5454215,45.5349143]}}
