An impressive church, in the middle of nowhere, where you do not expect it. By order of the Pope, after a Marian miracle, not a chapel was built here, but an entire church, with several domes, impressive frescoes and a separate tower. Also several Borgias are buried here.
The church is open all day without lunch. Admission is free.

Magnificent sanctuary with a Greek plan designed in 1524 and finished in 1728. The beautiful frescoes are worth seeing.

Isolated and in a little-known place, this sanctuary seemed to be heading towards a slow and unstoppable decline, then it was included by the FAI in the list of Places of the Heart and a process of recovery and recovery began.
The story of the origins of the sanctuary is similar to that of Lourdes, as it was built on the site where the Virgin appeared to a shepherdess. It has long been a destination for pilgrimages and was the church of the local lords whose tombs it houses. The church has not only religious value but is also of great artistic interest. The building is architecturally imposing and richly decorated inside with valuable works by Pomarancio and other talented painters from the second half of the 16th century. The surrounding buildings, less well preserved, reveal a place of peace and quiet.

Beautiful hike, however, it should be noted that a little before marker 4 on the intermediate-level circuit map, the path is difficult to access. It seems that it is now partly private (in the forest), and logs have been piled in the middle of a very narrow path, making it difficult to navigate. It might be possible to take another route to bypass this inconvenience. Otherwise, we recommend it; it was beautiful and pleasant!
And the sanctuary is truly magnificent: a beautiful starting and finishing point.
