Virtual Sanctuary of the Madonna del Ghisallo
The Sanctuary preserves and passes on the memory of cyclists
A Sanctuary to visit, a memory to gather and pass on. The Sanctuary of the Madonna del Ghisallo welcomes and cares for the devotion of hundreds of thousands of people, cyclists and non-cyclists. Enthusiasts, amateurs, and professionals: the Sanctuary of the Madonna del Ghisallo welcomes everyone.
Since 1967, the Gruppo Sportivo Madonna del Ghisallo has been taking care of preserving and promoting the Sanctuary throughout the world. In September 2025, it launched a project to tell and make accessible to everyone the heritage of faith, sport, emotion, and gratitude that for over a century, continuously, has been flowing into the Sanctuary of the Madonna del Ghisallo.
The project is called “Virtual Sanctuary”
Here every bicycle, every jersey, every helmet, every ex-voto, every photograph, every dedication, and every interview becomes part of a larger story: that of the cycling community.
Enter the Virtual Sanctuary and discover the treasure of emotions of the Ghisallo
Not just a simple archive. A living place of memory.
The Virtual Sanctuary is not just a digital collection of objects. It is a meeting place between past and present, between champions and pilgrims, between sporting feats and gestures of devotion.
Every relic preserved tells of a journey. Every dedication keeps a name. Every ex-voto brings with it a prayer, gratitude, a promise. Every interview delivers to the cycling community a voice, a teaching, a message to transmit.
Here the history of cycling meets the soul of the Ghisallo.
