Itinerary
The Sanctuary of Gibilmanna stands as an esteemed Christian shrine, steeped in legend and history. It is believed to be among the six Benedictine monasteries commissioned by Pope Gregory the Great, renowned for spearheading the Gregorian mission to convert the pagan Anglo-Saxons in Britain to Christianity. Nestled on the slopes of Pizzo Sant’Angelo (1081m), its name reflects its Arabic origins, derived from "gebel / jebel," meaning mountain, and "manna," extracted from the local manna ash trees for medicinal use.
The altarpiece, crafted by the Gagini family, a family of architects and sculptors which flourished until the mid-1600s, adorns the sanctuary.
