This – impressive – chapel on the mountain of the same name on Lake Lugano was not dedicated to one of the many people whom we honor as blessed or saints and ask for their heavenly intercession with God, but to the Son of God Jesus Christ, the Redeemer and Savior (" San Salvatore"), consecrated.

In 1703, the demolition of the old and very simple church was decided. The following year, the foundation stone for the chapel that still stands today was laid, and work was completed in 1718.
