Santuario del Cavallero

[1] The building of the sanctuary is due to the miraculous healing of a deaf-mute country girl thanks to the vision of Saint Mary of the Snow in 1678.

[2] The church has a Christian cross map and is decorated with stuccos and frescos by Pietro Lace, painter from Andorno Micca.

[3] The complex includes also few chapels and the lodging of the hermits, to whom the custody of the sanctuary was assigned until the 19th century.

The bridge over the Rio Cavallero, completed in 1772, is so wide that is generally considered a real square.

Near the church there are five chapels, built between 1710 and 1716, decorated with terracotta statues, like the contemporary Sacri Monti in Piedmont and Lombardy.
