The name of the church of of Our Lady of Cavata in San Gregorio da Sassola takes its name from a legend.
It is said that the image of the Madonna and Child from the thirteenth century, depicted in the act of blessing St. Gregory the Great kneeling, was 'cavata' (removed) from the soil in which she was buried.
The building dates back to the fifteenth century and in 1700 the facade was transformed.
The church has a single nave with walls completely covered with undated frescoes.
Probably they are the work of several painters and created at different times.
