San Michele, is the main church of Monte Sant'Angelo and is a grotto church. What can be seen at the top of the hill is only the church's octagonal bell tower and the two-part entrance hall. The church itself is inside the mountain, it is a pilgrimage church dedicated to Archangel Michael.

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.
