Santuario Madonna dell'Olio

The name of the church of "Madonna dall' Olio" derives from the famous mineral oil, which emerges by a nearby source and was used by devotees "Mariani" as a cure for skin diseases and as a remedy for treating worms, although it is possible that the name may derive from many olive groves in the area, existing in ancient times. In fact, we can also explain because the nearby plain of Southern Imera is still called "Giardini d' Oliva" (gardens of olives), a nearby old mill is named "Mulino Oliva" (mill olive) and the stream near the sanctuary is marked as "Torrente d' Oliva" (olive creek) in the maps.
