On this hill in the tenth century stood a castle, which contained within its walls a chapel dedicated to the Madonna. In 1427 Cardinal Giordano Orsini, belonging to the noble family who became lady of these lands, granted the remains to the Carmelite Order and allowed them to build a convent, with the church - to be built on the site of the ancient chapel - dedicated to the Virgin .
This is the church that still welcomes the faithful, and on whose altar is the icon of the Virgin and Child, the one that, according to legend, had spoken to a young shepherd boy.
The buildings that rise around it are what remains of the ancient convent.
