Such a beautiful landmark again hidden and tucked away in such a beautiful part of Italy. So hot the day we went, especially walking the 700m incline to the temple but well worth the walk!!!

We previously visited the caves of Frassasi but never visited this church in the rocks before. Now we took the steep climb - take your time and rest a few times - and at the end this climb was really worth the effort. Nice view from above and 2 nice churches to visit.

For me, an out of condition pensioner, it was a challenging walk up. I counted the stations of the cross which helped me chart my progress! It was certainly worth it. The position of the church is incredible and the small sanctuary is very atmospheric. Sensible and comfortable shoes are a must.

This is really something different. After a walk up in the hills you will find a small church located inside a cave.

Recommended to go with gym shoes. It is a wonderful place to visit. It’s 700 mt uphills so bring plenty of water. There s a small parking at the bottom with the possibility of having fresh public water.
Absolutely beautiful place

The church was magnificent on the exterior and pictures don’t do it justice. The only complaints are as follows: more benches on the hike up and cleaner bathrooms.

This “Refuge of Sinners” is an old pilgrimage site, with an octagonal temple (commissioned in early 19th century,and designed by Giuseppe Valadier- hence the name) sitting at the mouth of a cave. It's a steep 700 metres climb from a small, informal parking lot at the bottom (ample space was available, having arrived early before our Frassasi tour), but very worth the effort. Not to be missed when visiting the Grotte di Frassasi (mere 5 mins drive from there) .

It's not an easy hike up to the top of the mountain, but it's certainly worth it to see this remarkable temple. While here, be sure to explore the area behind the temple, which serves as one of the primary cavers' entrances to the Grotte di Frasassi. You'll need sturdy shoes (it can get slippery) and a light. It's also easy to neglect the 1,000 year old Santa Maria Infra Saxa sanctuary just to the right of the temple. Don't.

Came here after visiting grotto di frasassi (another must see place) the directions I found on the web and on trip advisor were not so great, it turns out that the start of the path is about half a mile from the frasassi cave opening (where you start the tour not where you get the tickets) there is a layby with a sign - Maddona di Frasassi where you can park and where the path starts. It's quite a steep climb but manageable. Our 9 and 7 year old walked it without complaint (but we walk a lot) people were up there with smaller children too. It is definitely worth the walk up as the place is beautiful and views are stunning. There are a couple of caves to explore behind the church and we even saw people climbing up the side. If you are in the area it is a must. Doing both Frasassi caves and this place in one day is a great day out for all.

c'è un parcheggio sulla strada da una parte e dall'altra. da una parte quello sul ciglio della strada mi pare ci possa stare è a spina di pesce anche se libero. quello lato inizio sentiero bisogna entrarci, se non ci sono troppe macchine forse riesci. prova a vedere con google map con la visione sul posto magari si vede.
