The Chapel of the Madonna di Belmonte stands near San Paolo di Civitate, beside the Tratturo Magno—an ancient transhumance trail linking Abruzzo and Puglia. According to legend, shepherds brought a Marian painting for protection in the 7th century, which was hidden during iconoclasm and rediscovered in the 19th century. The chapel now shelters this devotion. Each May, it hosts a heartfelt celebration that unites the people of San Paolo and Belmonte del Sannio in shared faith and tradition. Surrounded by greenery and open space, the site welcomes pilgrims, families, and community events in a natural, peaceful setting.
