The Shrine of the Corona is a place of silence and meditation, extended between heaven and earth, hidden in the heart of the Baldo rocks.

A holy tradition dates the birth of the Shrine of Our Lady of the Corona to the 1522, the year when the sculpture venerated here was miraculously transported through angelic intervention from the island of Rhodes. In 1625 works began on the construction of a new and more spacious church 4 metres above the previous one which was incorporated beneath the new presbytery. In 1974, the church was partly demolished and reconstructed.
