An absolute must if you are visiting the region. It can also be easily combined with the Frasassi Caves. The temple set into the rock is truly something impressive.
The ticket costs 6 euros. The path to the temple offers a beautiful view of the valley and numerous places to sit allow people who are not good at walking to visit the temple. There are even sanitary facilities at the top. The temple is unspectacular inside, but its location is all the more impressive.

The church was built in 1828 based on a design by the architect Giuseppe Valadier.

The church has an octagonal plan. The roof dome is covered with lead plates. The church was built into a cave and is made of blocks of travertine quarried in the Frasassi Caves. A marble statue of the Madonna and Child from the workshop of Antonio Canova used to be venerated in the church. Today the statue is exhibited in the Museum of Sacred Art of Genga and a copy has been placed in the church. In the same grotto is also the hermitage of Santa Maria Infra Saxa.
