Important sanctuary dating back to the XIII century dedicated to the Archangel Michael. The Sanctuary is also known as the Heavenly Basilica. It is part of the serial site "Longobards in Italy: the places of power", including seven places full of architectural, pictorial and sculptural testimonies of Lombard art, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in June 2011.
