Valdragone Church
The Valdragone Church, officially known as the Sanctuary of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, is an architectural jewel in the municipality of Borgo Maggiore. It was built in the mid-20th century by the Servants of Mary (Servites) and is part of a larger monastic complex. The church's architecture displays Neo-Renaissance influences, characterized by its elegant dome and the light-colored stone typical of San Marino. The locality of Valdragone has a centuries-old religious tradition, tracing back to a Marian apparition in 1564. Inside the church, there are valuable modern artworks and a richly decorated sanctuary that fosters an atmosphere of silence and devotion. Today, the sanctuary is a significant pilgrimage site for believers from across Italy and abroad. In addition to the church, the monastic complex provides facilities for spiritual retreats and religious gatherings. Its location at the foot of Mount Titano features impressive views of the fortified towers of the capital.
