The territory of this city is crossed by the Via Postumia, a Roman consular road built in 148 BC, which was intended to connect two of the main Roman ports, namely that of Aquileia and that of Genoa.
Certainly not to be missed is the Sanctuary of the Madonna di Caravaggio, built in 1830 by the will of the peasant population as a result of strong famines. Legend has it that it was enough to touch the hand of the Madonna to be freed from evil and suffering.
Over time the popularity of the Madonna increased and, with it, also the pilgrims who periodically visited her, so that eventually they were forced to build an iron cage to protect it from the attacks of people, thus procuring them the name of "Virgin in a cage".
