Sanctuary of Santa Maria del Sorbo
The Sanctuary of Santa Maria del Sorbo was probably founded in the 10th century as the chapel of a castle that once stood on the site. In 1427 Cardinal Giordano Orsini granted the remains of the abandoned castle and chapel to the Carmelite order and allowed them to build a convent. The church of the convent, located on the former chapel, houses a miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary, hence its name of sanctuary.
