Here, already in the 13th century, a tabernacle dedicated to the Virgin Mary stood next to a source that was said to be miraculous. Even if no miracle is known, over time the fame of this place grew so much that it led the Trivulzio family to build a chapel in 1470 and a real sanctuary a hundred years later. During the plague of 1630 many reported having been saved by the miraculous waters which are still collected today in tubs located at the back of the lower church.
