The name of the church of Santa Maria of the Visitation or of the Image in Leonessa is due to the fact that it is built probably in place of a devotional niche in which the image of Our Lady was worshipped.
Here St. Joseph in 1608 accomplished the miracle of resurrecting an ox that died as he threshed the grain, and for this the inhabitants of Leonessa are very close to this church.
With a single nave, it is mentioned for the first time in 1393, and inside there is a cycle of 15th century frescoes of the Umbrian school.
