The sanctuary consists of a single-nave church, in Baroque style, closed by a large apse which in turn is flanked by two apses. In front of the church there is a panoramic grassy esplanade with a high cross in the center. This is accessed via a large staircase built in the 1940s, adorned with two statues representing angels. At the base of the staircase, in a niche, there is a statue of Our Lady of Sorrows.

Hiking

Baroque style sanctuary, dating back to the mid-18th century, was built on the site of a Marian apparition and stands above the town of Cuceglio in a unique panoramic point from which it dominates the entire plain: it is a destination for pilgrimages in a natural setting of great value. Next to the sanctuary, there is a building that in past centuries housed a convent of monks and, in the recent past, a nursery school.
