The hilltop Basilica di Monte Berico offers panoramic view of the Palladian city below. The basilica was built in the 18th century to replace a Gothic structure where the Virgin Mary herself is said to have made two appearances in 1426. An impressive 18th-century colonnade runs uphill to the church, roughly parallel to Viale X Giugno. Bus 18 (€1.50) runs here from Via Roma.
