About this place
Points included in this audio guide
High Altar with Icon of the Virgin and Child
The sanctuary's high altar features a venerated canvas depicting the Virgin and Child, solemnly crowned in 1874. This image remains the spiritual heart of the sanctuary and the principal focus of pilgrimage for the faithful who visit Corniglia.
Lateral Ovals with Saint Bernard of Clairvaux and Saint Bernardino of Siena
The sanctuary's side ovals feature depictions of Saint Bernard of Claravaux and Saint Bernardino of Siena, positioned on the interior side walls. Originally, these two representations formed part of a single painted composition alongside an image of the Madonna and Child, before the work was divided. What to see here are these remarkable fresco panels that showcase the artistic heritage of Corniglia's religious site.
Collection of Maritime Votive Offerings
Housed within the sanctuary, Corniglia's collection of maritime ex-votos provides a genuine window into the village's devotional traditions and deep historical ties to the sea. These votive offerings, donated in gratitude for answered prayers and safe passages, are displayed throughout the single-naved church. The collection reveals much about local seafaring life and the spiritual practices of generations of fishermen and their families who called upon divine protection during their maritime endeavours.
