Tips from the Community

JakobusPilger
May 30, 2026, Chiesa della Beata Vergine di Loreto (Madonnina del Po)

The patronage of this sanctuary, consecrated to the Madonna, refers to the place LORETO. This is one of the great and significant Marian pilgrimage sites in Europe, along with LOURDES in the French Pyrenees and FATIMA in Portugal. In contrast to the other two mentioned places, Loreto is not known for apparitions of the Mother of God. Here, pilgrims can be shown something very tangible: Mary's childhood home in Nazareth (Israel). Her parents – who are not named in the biblical scriptures of the New Testament – are mentioned in apocryphal traditions: Saint ANNA and Saint JOACHIM are thus the grandparents of Jesus Christ (their common feast day in the liturgical calendar is July 26th). Probably, Crusaders, as the era of the Christian kingdoms in the Holy Land came to an end towards the end of the 13th century, dismantled the building revered in Nazareth and transported it to Europe. However, this very sober assumption is contrasted by a much more interesting legend: According to it, four angels carried out the translation and flew the house across the Mediterranean.

Nestled in the hills of Val d’Arda, which in prehistoric times were covered by the sea and of which traces remain in numerous fossils, Castell’Arquato stands within the Parco Regionale del Piacenziano, which takes its name from this historical period. An Orange Flag of the Touring Club Italiano, the medieval village, of rare beauty and great scenic impact, is capable of fascinating from afar, with its profile dominating the entire valley, as well as up close, with its narrow streets and its medieval stone houses, perfectly preserved and subject to constant restoration.

A wonderful stop. Both the church and the baptistery were open, and we were able to enter for a visit. It's worth a detour if you're in the area.

A splendid Renaissance square dominated by the three figures of the Cathedral, the Baptistery, and the Torrazzo, which offers a panoramic view of the entire Po Valley.
