The Sanctuary of the Madonna della Rocca stands on a hill at an altitude of 349 m, on a particularly panoramic point. Its management is currently entrusted to the Missionaries of the Immaculate Conception.

The complex consists of a medieval nucleus and additions from the late seventeenth century. The place has been a pilgrimage destination for centuries as it preserves a miraculous image of the Madonna. Even today each of the six parishes in the district reach it with a procession once a year.

On the site where the sanctuary stands today, there was once a fortress (Rocca di Cornuda). A papal bull of 1245 shows that even before its demolition there was a small church dedicated to the Virgin. Tradition states that this building was built when the Madonna appeared on a nearby stone; on that same stone a luxuriant oak (which legend has it originally from the Holy Land) was rooted for a long time and collapsed on May 18, 2008.

The church was later donated to the parish of Cornuda by the noble Annibale Scala (1247). In 1450 it was restored by the noblewoman Caterina da Coderta and became a male hermitage. Fifteen years later the monks were succeeded by the nuns. A papal bull of 1492 forbade the nuns to leave the convent, but the order was often transgressed and, despite the various other measures taken, the place remained known for the indiscipline of the occupants. After the War of the League of Cambrai, the community was dispersed and the monastery suppressed. The sanctuary was then entrusted to a priest who, from 1650, held the title of prior and then rector.
