Santuario Santa Maria Della Grottella : Via Padre Giovanni Donato Caputo, 73043 Copertino LE, Italy

A beautiful Marian complex dedicated to Saint Joseph of Cupertino. Evocative and popular with many faithful, it features a green park with a kiosk, a bar, and a children's playground, where you can relax and spend days outdoors before or after visiting the shrine itself.

...although the patron saint of Copertino is Saint Joseph, highly revered by the population and to whom a feast is dedicated on his anniversary, I believe that here, on the outskirts of the same Bergoglio Salentino, there is another …

A small, well-preserved church... At the center of the altar, the original fresco of the Madonna was discovered. Very beautiful and fascinating, considering it's over 400 years old. I recommend a visit for lovers of this genre.
