The sanctuary of Madonna dell'alto is a place of Christian worship where the Virgin Mary is venerated, on top of Monte Alto (1819 m s.l.m.), in the Madonie (Sicily). The sanctuary consists of a church, a sacristy and a hermitage with rooms to accommodate pilgrims. The sanctuary has remote origins but probably dates back to the 13th century. On the altar of the church of medieval origin, is a marble statue of the Madonna dell'Alto, dated 1471, which is attributed to the sculptor Domenico Gagini. The sanctuary is a common destination for pilgrimages. Pilgrimages are very frequent in summer and especially in the days of the fortnight and in the feasts celebrated on August 14, with the suggestive torchlight at night, and on August 15, with the very solemn solemn procession of the statue of the Madonna dell'Alto around the sanctuary.
