The pedlerins were come here for more than three hundred years to drink waters of the spring. The supports and the numerous canes testify to the miracles, that arrived. When I was there forty years ago, I recalled it as different something. The reason is that the sanctuary always was under the construction and was not completed until 1976. Also on the property are the Santa Scalla, renowned to be a step fax that Jesus brought up to see Pontius Pilate. The pedlerins bring up these steps on their knees saying a short prayer on every the one. A life gauged Manner of the Cross, molded in the bronze winds his manner a craggy hill.
