The small church, also called Oratory of the Madonna Nera, is named after a 16th or 17th-century woodden statue, which is a copy of the statue venerated in the Abbey of Einsiedeln in central Switzerlamd, an area frequented by local merchant.
Built in 1733, the oratory bears an inscription on the portal taken from the Canticle of Canticles: “Nigra sum sed formosa” (I am dark, but beautiful).
