San Giorgio Lucano (Matera)
Sanctuary of the Madonna del Pantano, San Giorgio Lucano
The sanctuary of the Madonna del Pantano, also called Madonna degli Angeli, was built from 1650 near the cave in contrada Pantano where a group of hunters found a statue of Our Lady of the Angels. According to tradition, the statue had been hidden in that cave by the people of ancient Noia at the time of the barbarian invasions.
