Mercogliano

Mercogliano is best known in Campania for the Sanctuary of Montevergine, a major Marian pilgrimage site high on Monte Partenio. The town spreads across the mountain’s lower slopes near Avellino, where the terrain of the southern Apennines rises above the Campanian interior. Founded in 1119 by Saint William of Vercelli, the sanctuary includes a Benedictine abbey and preserves the revered icon of the Madonna di Montevergine. Its religious importance has shaped Mercogliano’s identity for centuries, linking the town closely to the mountain above it.
