The sanctuary is so named because it is situated on the shore of a small lake and is nestled in a magnificent natural setting. The original structure dates from the 16th century and was dedicated to Our Lady of the Visitation. The old church was rebuilt several times, in particular it was enlarged in 1842. Today it houses an inn (telephone 338 839 5737 for opening hours). On the first Sunday of July, the feast of the Madonna del Lago is celebrated with the associated and traditional procession.
