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
