The Sanctuary is located in Monticello Amiata. It is accessed from the Parco della Rimembranza just outside the town, it has been remembered since 1198 in a document by Pope Innocent III in the first year of his pontificate where without saying the title he recognizes the abbot of San Salvatore "the power you have over the church inside the castle and on the church outside the castle. In 1218 we find the act of Pope Honorius III which talks about the church inside the castle and the church of Maria di Val di Prata; from these and other documents we can deduce that a temple dedicated to the Virgin already existed in that place before 1000. Transformed between 1847 and 1865, it contains two seventeenth-century altars, dedicated to Sant'Antonio (1692) and to the Madonna del Carmine (1691), where the altarpiece of the Madonna del Carmine, Santa Teresa d'Avila, Santa Elisabetta d' Hungary, San Filippo Neri and Sant'Elena attributed to Giuseppe Nicola Nasini. Furthermore, there is a late 15th century panel in the church called the Madonna della Consolazione, reworked over the centuries, highly venerated and considered miraculous.
