The Sanctuary of the Incoronata is a Catholic place of worship dedicated to the Black Madonna, who appeared in the year 1001 to a count and a shepherd in the Cervaro wood. Every year, on the last Saturday of April, the feast of the apparition is celebrated with a ride of angels and the offering of oil for the votive lamp. The sanctuary has a bronze crown hanging from the dome, an organ of 2000 pipes and the title of minor basilica.

Catholic shrine in which a black Madonna is venerated. According to tradition, the Madonna appeared in these places to a nobleman and a shepherd in the year 1001.

The sanctuary, which covers approximately 1,000 hectares, preserves a small strip of natural vegetation in an intensively managed area. At the moment, the wooded area lapped by the Cervaro stream covers about 320 hectares, of which 162 are high forest and 115 are grassland. It is therefore a diversified area, representing the environments that covered most of Tavoliere in the past.
