Preval is a corner of outstanding natural beauty, nestled among the rolling hills that separate the Soča River from its right tributary, the Judrio River. This area, located between Italy and Slovenia, straddles the border, offering a natural spectacle that ranges from the vineyards and forests of the surrounding hills to the majestic peaks of the Julian Alps, which dominate the horizon. The Sanctuary of Santa Maria del Preval, dating back to the 13th century and evidenced by both archaeological remains and archival documents from the 1300s, is a place of deep spirituality. The atmosphere that envelops this shrine is made even more evocative by the silence of the surrounding nature, creating a perfect balance between sacredness and scenic beauty. The sanctuary itself is a haven of peace, with its sober and harmonious architecture that fits perfectly into the mountainous setting, offering visitors a unique experience where history and nature come together in a timeless embrace.
