The Mother of God depicted and venerated here is the one from Lourdes. This well-known Marian pilgrimage site is located in the French Pyrenees and is visited by many people every year, including many sick people who hope for healing. The devotional image of the Mother of God has become widespread - not only in France - and believers have built Lourdes chapels and grottos everywhere. The church's memorial day for "Our Lady of Lourdes" is February 11th, the anniversary of the Marian apparition (1858), when the Mother of God appeared to 14-year-old Bernadette Soubirous in a rock grotto very close to Lourdes. Bernadette later became a nun and died at the age of just 35. On December 8th (the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary) 1933, she was canonized by Pope Pius XI. The commemoration of the Madonna of Lourdes is also World Day of the Sick.

Remains of an ancient castle inhabited precisely by the Baroness Maria Enrichetta Scoppa (around the 19th century) who, according to legend, used to seclude herself inside it with young men to then make them disappear in the marshes of Lake Lacina once the carnal relationship was consummated.

The variant of stage IX of the Parco dei Ciclovia leads towards Lake Angitola, a naturalistic oasis declared a "wetland of international value" along which a pleasant cycle path runs. The Variant goes from Passo Fossa del Lupo to Torre di Ruggiero crossing the towns of Polia, Monterosso Calabro (with a magnificent historic center where the Museum of Peasant and Artisan Civilization of Calabria is located) and San Nicola da Crissa, called "the balcony delle Calabrie" for the splendid panorama overlooking the Calabrian coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea. For those wishing to take a trip to the sea, the magnificent beaches of Pizzo Calabro are only 5 km away from Lake Angitola.
