The path follows the footsteps of the ancient pilgrims travelling from the village to the Holy Mount built on the hilltop, on the remains of a pagan temple dedicated to the goddess Diana.
The Religious Path begins in Piazza Vittorio Veneto, where the Ecomuseum of the Rocche is located. From there, you will proceed to the Sanctuary, composed by a romanic Church, thirtheen small chapels with statues of the Passion of Jesus, and a holy sepulchre.
The Religious Path follows the historic route of the pilgrims. From central Montà it goes to the Shrine Sanctuary, and returns to the village through the extraordinary countryside of Valle Diana and Rio Canneto. Throughout the centuries, men and women in this territory have made their ritual journeys towards the Shrine Sanctuary to be “closer to God”. It is a path that recalls the experience and knowledge of the world of beliefs, rituals, traditions and special occasions relating to the religiousness of the local populace.
