the shrine of the holy child of prague

The Shrine of the Holy Child of Prague, opened in 1908, was consecrated and elected minor Basilica by Pius XI in 1928. The Church, built in neo-Renaissance style, presents a Latin cross structure. In the apse the Throne with the Child stands, which is a great fresco by Renzo Bonfiglio.

Majolica sculptures decorate the walls, work of Angelo Biancini from Faenza. Under the church, in an artificial cave, there is a permanent display of the Nativity Scene, with statues made with Albisola ceramics, work of E. Salino.
