Nowadays it is the seat of two museums: the Museo Bottacin and the Museum of Applied and Decorative Arts.
The Santuario di Monte Berico was built during the 17th century. It was built next to an ancient Gothic church that was erected after the apparitions of the Virgin in 1428.

The church is decorated with statues and is crowned by a slender dome. There are some wonderful paintings inside, including works by Veronese and Montagna. The religious heart of the church is the Gothic statue of the Madonna di Monte Berico, with its halo, studded with gemstones.
