A 41-metre dome topped by a gilded statue of the Virgin crowns this Romanesque-Byzantine sanctuary, built in 1902–1912 around a medieval city gate whose venerated fresco of the Madonna is kept in the older chapel. Stained glass, frescoes and mosaics decorate it, and a garden behind holds a replica of the Lourdes grotto.
