Il Santuario della Chiesa Vecchia (Shrine of the Old Church)– original name: ‘Santuario della Madonna della Catena’ (Sanctuary of the Madonna of the Chain)– is the only sanctuary on the island of Lipari. Dedicated to Maria SS. della Catena, it appears to date back to 1588. The building stands out for its white colour amidst the sea and sky blue of this dream location. From this privileged position, you can enjoy one of the most beautiful views of the island, overlooking Salina, Filicudi and Alicudi. Below the church you can visit the Crypt, once used as a cemetery.
