Bedste tid at besøge
Weekday mornings give you the ex-voto hall nearly to yourself. Easter Monday transforms the approach into a roaring procession, spectacular but packed with tens of thousands of runners.
Budgettips
Admission is free with no ticket or reservation required. Skip the crowded parking lot on Easter Monday and arrive by train instead.

Om
Hurtige fakta: Over 20.000 tilhængere kendt som fujenti sprinter de sidste kilometer hver påskemandag iført hvide dragter og røde bælter. Ritualet genopfører en legende fra 1450, hvor en drengs kastede bold ramte et freskomaleri af Jomfruen og angiveligt fik det til at bløde.
Højdepunkter: Inde i ex-voto-salen takker mere end 7.000 håndmalede tavler Jomfruen for redninger fra skibsforlis, sygdomme og brudte ægteskaber. Se godt på de små folkkunst-figurer på de ældste tavler, og du mærker 500 år af rå, personlig taknemmelighed.
Insidertips
- Spend extra time in the ex-voto hall, the vivid folk paintings outshine the main altar for character.
- Photograph the runners from a raised side street before 9 a.m. on Easter Monday, they pass at full sprint.
- Visit weekday mornings before 10 a.m. for the quietest chance to linger in front of the tablets.
- Bring earplugs for the festival, the crush and the chanting get intense.
