There's also a fountain. Poor connection.

The current Basilica Sanctuary was built recently (1957-1979), but the history surrounding the cult is much older, dating back to the late eighth and early ninth centuries. A ship coming from the East, loaded with goods, including a statue of the Virgin Mary that had escaped iconoclastic persecution, was forced to dock by a violent storm. The sailors were forced to disembark, but the ship remained motionless. So the occupants decided to lighten the load, leaving the chest containing the statue of the Madonna Bruna on shore, among other items. The ship set sail again and continued its journey.

At this point on the highway, a rest area allows you to stop and admire the view of the blue sea of Calavà.

A work of art made of gold and colors. But I especially like the view. There are many souvenir shops, bars and a restaurant here.

Today (July 2024 - in full drought) this fountain at 1275m altitude has an impressive flow. The highest in all the Nebrodi. The water temperature is instead around 12 degrees while in the air in the shade it was 33 degrees. It is a true heritage of humanity!
