A chapel at the site, dedicated to San Martino, is documented since the fourth centuries. Over the years the devotion the Virgin grew. By 1460, it was an arcipretale church with other dependant parishes. The church was rebuilt in the early 19th century, and completed in 1852. The interior has a sculpted late-gothic-style Ciborium.[1]
