Why pilgrims come
A sacred place worth the journey.
A Franciscan mountain shrine above the Soča and Nova Gorica, rebuilt after wartime destruction and reached by road or a steep pilgrim path with Stations of the Cross. Its strength is living Marian pilgrimage and Franciscan custody, not an unsupported apparition claim.
