Madonna di Pietralba
The church was completed in 1673. In 1753 Giuseppe Dellai added the Baroque style to the pilgrimage church. By order of the emperor Joseph II some parts of the monastery were demolished and all its assets were sold at an auction. The church was rebuilt in the XVIII century.

After the visit of Pope John Paul II to this place of pilgrimage in 1988, the flow of pilgrims has increased progressively. The shrine of Madonna di Pietralba, besides having a key role as a place of pilgrimage, is also a beloved place by hikers.
