The grotto is carved out of the rock and contains a worship cell where a statue of Archangel Michael is venerated.

This highlight contains three churches:
The Tomba di Rotari (left), a building from the 11th and later centuries with several architectural and artistic-historical features.

To the right of the portal is the apse of the 12th-century parish church of San Pietro, which collapsed in the 19th century.

Next to it, in close proximity, is the 12th-century church of Santa Maria Maggiore.

Santa Maria Maggiore is a church in the Apulian town of Monte Sant'Angelo. It dates primarily from the second half of the 12th century and is part of a complex with two other buildings whose connection is unclear. It is known for its façade and the relief above the portal.

The church's interior is basilica-style, meaning it has three naves with a raised central nave. Characteristic of the early Gothic alterations are the pointed arcades and transverse arches of the side aisles. These are supported by pillars preceded by half-columns and pilasters. The church has only three bays, and in relation to its relatively short length, the side aisles and nave are very high. In the third bay, facing the semi-hexagonal choir, the nave is vaulted by a small dome with small round-arch windows; otherwise, the nave is covered by a barrel vault with small lunettes.

Not yet restored, it retains all its old-world charm.
