Ghiffa is a town famous for the presence of the Sacro Monte (Sacred Mountain) on its territory.
With the term Sacro Monte we commonly refer to a religious complex, characterized by a path of devotion in a natural environment, with chapels inside which there are evocative scenes of testimonies of faith. The purpose of the Sacri Monti, which began being built in Italy since the end of the fifteenth century, was to offer a safer alternative compared to the pilgrims travel to the Holy Land. Within a Nature Reserve, like a jewel in the scenic setting between lake and forest, there is the baroque monument of the Sacro Monte, which is dedicated to the Trinity: it includes the sanctuary, three chapels and a cloister; the complex is located in a splendid panoramic position with a wonderful view on Lake Maggiore.
