This is a land of faith. Loreto, the region’s leading religious point, attracts thousands of pilgrims each year. However, wherever you go here you will encounter numerous religious buildings: sanctuaries, churches with votive altars, convents, hermitages, Romanesque churches and abbeys. There are thousands of churches, of which almost 200 are Romanesque; 40 abbeys; and 163 sanctuaries. Your time here can include spiritual reflection, or even be entirely religious.
