This small church of Santa Maria della Portella takes its name from its location at the entrance of the village of Cervara di Roma.
Surrounded by a forest along the sheep trail (transumanza path) to Subiaco, it overlooks the whole Aniene Valley.
Its construction probably dates back to the early 1500s.
In 1602 it became a sanctuary when the statue of golden stucco that adorned it was considered miraculous and has become an object of worship.
