    Madonna del Sasso - the most famous pilgrimage church in Italian-speaking Switzerland was built around 1485 on the occasion of the Franciscan brother Frá Bartolomeo. He had an apparition of Our Lady at this place high above Lake Maggiore and wanted to build a place of worship at the same place. In addition, further chapels and a Church of the Annunciation were built further below. From this Church of the Annunciation a Way of the Cross leads up the Via Crucis with 2 Way of the Cross chapels to the Madonna del Sasso.
