Legend Hermitage of Calomini narrates the apparition of The Madonna
to the shepherdress living in the area
From where the water springs the image of the Madonna is revealed
and thus became famous in all the neighboring villages
History
History tells us that as a result of its appearance many people
they went to the place to pray to her but given the growing number
they carried the statue to Gallicano the most honorable place
After twnty-four hours the statue was found where it had appeared
the first time and therefore it was decided to build a church here
A rock-hewn church called S. Maria ad Martyres was built
The miracles became more and more frequent and then it was decided to
expand and raise a Church worthy of the call
Building
Building very suggestie and the architectural complex is located
at the base of a very high overhanging part about 70 mt high is
recessed for 15 mt inside the Rock
The sacristy and the convent remain inside the mountain
The main church is decoarted in an 18th century style
How to reach it
How to reach it is simple thanks to the help of Google Maps
by car it is about 53 km in 1 hour
The direction is for Gallicano an Vergemoli and the road is
certainly immersed in green with curves because the area is mountainous
