            Il santuario di Oropa è un santuario mariano - dedicato alla Madonna Nera - situato una dozzina di chilometri a nord della città di Biella, a circa 1.159 metri di altitudine, in un anfiteatro naturale di montagne che circondano la sottostante città e fanno parte delle Prealpi biellesi.
Il santuario comprende, oltre ad un Sacro monte, la chiesa originaria del XVII secolo sorta sulla base di un antico sacello ed il santuario attuale vero e proprio (rappresentato in foto), realizzato nel XX secolo e dotato di diverse strutture destinate all'ospitalità di fedeli e turisti. 
Come parte del sistema dei Sacri Monti del Piemonte e della Lombardia, il Sacro Monte di Oropa è stato dichiarato nel 2003 patrimonio dell'umanità dell'UNESCO.
