Located on a hill overlooking the city, the shrine is dedicated to the Madonna of Bonaria, who is venerated as the protector of sailors. The site includes a basilica and an adjoining convent, both of which feature remarkable architectural and artistic elements. The basilica houses a revered statue of the Virgin Mary, which, according to legend, was found by local fishermen after being miraculously saved from a storm at sea.
