Tindari

Tindari is prominently visible to the west of Portorosa, with the Sanctuary of the Black Madonna perched on a promontory.
The church is relatively recent (1950s).
There is an older church, but that was closed for repairs when I was there.
The Black Madonna is medieval and may have been removed from Constantinople.
Photos taken inside the church have been sharpened a bit, due to low light levels.

There are also some old Greek/Roman ruins, including mosaics and an amphitheatre
