In an elevated position with respect to Torchiati, dominating the valley below, is the ancient and famous Sanctuary of the Incoronata or of Maria Santissima dell'Incoronata (tel. 0825-523093).

In 1495, the Church was donated by King Alfonso of Aragon to his nephew Cardinal Luigi. In 1551, King Ferdinand the Catholic attributed it to the Neapolitan nobleman Troiano Mormile. In 1529, the Emperor Charles V, who succeeded Ferdinand the Catholic, confirmed the attribution to the Mormile family from Toledo, with a diploma dated 1 March. In 1531, the owner Mormile returned the church to the dowry of his daughter Laura who was married to the Duke of Montecalvo, Federico Pignatelli. In 1680, the conditions of the Church were pitiful, so much so that a restoration was required. On 11 February 1689 it was decided that the only functioning oven was to be the one located in the Church of Santa Maria Incoronata, and that the sale of bread in another shop would not be authorized, until after the auction was awarded by the shop of the aforementioned Church. On 7 August 1886, the Pignatelli family sold the Grancia, that is the dependence of the Incoronata to Gennaro Mastrangelo.

The Concordat between the State and the Holy See of 1929 imposed the restitution to the religious authorities of all the Sanctuaries in Italy. It took a long judicial dispute, from 1932 to 1936, to break the resistance on the part of the family that owns the Mastrangelo. Having obtained the restitution, the Sanctuary was entrusted, on 23 March 1941, by the Archbishop of Salerno Nicola Mantecrisi, with a regular agreement, to the Friars Minor of the Salerno-Lucanian religious province.
