Vernazza
|
|
The sanctuary of Vernazza is dedicated to the Lady of Regio. It was built in the XI century on a preexisting crypt. The first written mention dates back to 1248.
The church has three aisles and in the XIV century was transformed to a Latin cross plant. Only the facade remains of the original Romanesque complex.
The Madonna Nera with Child is the adored image, known as “the African” as well.
