Sacro Monte di Belmonte
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sacred Mountain of Belmonte was built in 1712 at the initiative of the Friar Minor Michelangelo da Montiglio. After interruptions, building work on the chapel was resumed in 1759 and in 1825. The complex located in the Canavese is dedicated to the Mysteries of the Rosary, and it starts from and returns to the Sanctuary. The chapels are built at set intervals: the details of their construction, the shapes and the embellishment used are often identical, leading to the supposition that they are the work of a single architect who has remained anonymous.
