Surprisingly baroque church.

Originally a simple oratory dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, in the 17th century the building took on a Baroque appearance with the arrival of the Capuchin fathers in 1635. The convent was destroyed during the Second World War, as was the central altar, which today offers a superb view of the mountains through the bay window at the back of the church.
