The Rosary Oratory stands in Piazza San Pietro, in front of the Cattedrale di San Pietro. Built in the 15th century, the oratory houses an 18th-century sculptural retable with a frontal dating from 1621 and a 17th-century marble basin.
The building's plan consists of a single nave with a gabled wooden roof interrupted by granite ribs that form large pointed arches under the roof. The presbytery area is covered by a barrel vault. The interior walls of the church are plastered. A marked heterogeneity of styles can be seen on the façade: the 15th-century portal (placed along the axis of symmetry) and the elegantly curved crown. The building is made of exposed masonry made of granite blocks.

This church is not simply dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, but its patronage bears a special suffix. Marian churches are often dedicated to her "Immaculate Conception," Nativity, or Assumption, but this church is dedicated to a prayer that was very popular in popular piety in earlier times and is still practiced today in many parishes and private households (at least among the older generation): the Rosary.
According to ancient tradition, there were three versions that were meditated on:
+ the Joyful Mysteries
+ the Sorrowful Mysteries
+ the Glorious Mysteries
Pope John Paul II (Karol Wojtyla) added
+ the Luminous Mysteries.
