The church of Santa Maria dei Fiori in Isola del Liri was built in the nineteenth century on medieval pre-existing structures to guard the rock with the face of the Madonna, the child and a bouquet of flowers.

A legend tells that when the workers tried to take the rock into another church with a cart pulled by oxen they did not succeed. The oxen 3 times always returned to the original point.
