Isola del Liri. Small caves of Madonna of Lourdes

Isola del Liri. Small caves of Madonna of Lourdes

Along the road that connects the lower Isola del Liri with the upper one, there are two small caves with a small stream that closely resembles the French sanctuary.

In 1938, the then bishop who wanted to keep religious tension high among the working masses, decided to modify the caves to make them more and more similar to Lourdes and in 1940 a statue of the Madonna was placed.
