    In the place where it is said that on 27 March 1483 the effigy of the Virgin with Child, placed on a small masonry pillar, worked a miracle, Girolamo Riario and Caterina Sforza, Lords of Imola, had this Sanctuary built, allowing the Franciscan friars to take care of the sacred image.

    The construction of the church began in 1491 and over time it was expanded several times to accommodate the large number of pilgrims who came to venerate the image. The building, clearly Renaissance in style, has a rectangular plan, a small portico preceding the entrance and an imposing sixteenth-century bell tower 35 meters high.
