The Chapel: it has been consecrated at least 3 times, and for that reason, it represents a charming religious space which is the venue of a ceremonious singing mass in Latin on the occasion of the day of the Chapel of “the Exaltation of the Holy Cross” on 14th September or on the nearest Saturday.

Concerts in the Chapel with amazing acoustics and energy (according to the current offer)

Facilities:

Community centre in a former hermitage (i.e. an 18th-century dwelling of the site’s caretakers), film screenings – DVD, TV – Noe, viewing and lending of books, paintings. We turn the heating on during winters and thus our pilgrimage site serves also as a “cosy mountainous den” for all winter pilgrims and visitors.
