Montemilone.
This village, situated on the boundary that separates
Basilicata from Puglia, has very ancient origins.
In the XI century it was a Bishop site and later belonged
to several lords.
The Church of the Immacolata was built in 1890 in
Romanesque style. Its facade is in tuff, with a stone
portal and a rose window. Inside it, there is a wooden
statue, of the XVIII century.
On a hill, in the middle of a wood, there is the
Sanctuary of the ‘Madonna del Bosco’,
also called ‘La Gloriosa’. It was built
in 1187 by the Benedictines, in Romanesque and Byzantine
style, and is the destination for many pilgrims. Its
facade has a beautiful stone portal and an octagonal
rose window. The Sanctuary has a nave and three aisles.
