The church tower is located on the side of the building. The interior is divided into three naves and preserves many ex-votos donated by the citizens who were miraculously miraculoused by the Madonna.
The church was built on the place where according to tradition in June 1883, there was the apparition of the Virgin Mary, subsequently several miracles were described. As a sign of gratitude, the inhabitants of the area decided to build a temple there.
