The sanctuary of Madonna della Corona is built on the site that legend says was the place of a miracle. The story goes that a statue of Our Lady of Sorrows disappeared from the Rodi in 1522 during the Turkish occupation of the island. It reappeared in Spiazzi in a place that was barely accessible at the summit of the Adige Valley; it clings to the side of the mountain with an enormous mass of rock that seems to hang over it. The sanctuary was built in the early 16th Century, rebuilt in 1625 and enlarged over the years since.
