Via crucis on the small promontory near the Foro Boario in Ivrea. Walk through vegetation and prestigious building complexes. The stages of the route marked by chapels with small sculptural groups in terracotta and sculpted marble slabs. On the top of the hill, at the end of the paved path, there is a small church, probably built on a pre-existing temple dedicated to Venus, surrounded by vegetation. At one time it seems it was possible to reach the countryside lake directly with a path that is currently not practicable. Place of peace and meditation.

Not prestigious architecture and a cold asphalted square surrounding it used as a parking lot. Nice walk to get there.

I used to come here when I was a child with my Grand Pa looking at the "presepio" right on the side of the church ...unfortunately seems like has been closed. love the scenery around but the cave should be open up again

The Monte Stella di Ivrea sanctuary is one of the places of historical and artistic interest in the Piedmontese town. A few steps away from the crowded market square of the fruit and vegetable market, the stations of a nineteenth-century Via Crucis that climb up to the sanctuary of the Madonna della Stella, better known to the Eporedians as a sanctuary of Monte Stella. The sanctuary was built in 1627 to bear witness to the special devotion expressed towards the "Black Madonna" of Oropa. Today only the bell tower and a wall adjacent to the present church remain of this seventeenth-century building, on which the remains of a frescoed lunette can be seen. Continuing beyond the sanctuary of Monte Stella, in a suggestive panoramic place, we reach the Chapel of the Three Kings, a pilgrimage destination that takes place on the day of the Epiphany and a plenary indulgence for the faithful. The ancient rite of the procession and the offering of the candles to the chapel, has been, in recent times, incorporated in the celebrations of the historic carnival of Ivrea, which every year has its start precisely on the day of the Epiphany. The chapel, with its Romanesque architecture, is extremely sober.
