Built in the 19th century, it stands on the foundations of a Roman watchtower. It is a pilgrimage chapel dedicated to the Sorrowful Mother of God - "Maria ad Silvam" - which was visited by the surrounding villages during the prayer week.
The spring, which rises in the area of the chapel, is said to have a healing effect on eye diseases.
