Moglietti sanctuary

The Moglietti sanctuary (Italian: "Santuario dei Moglietti") is a sanctuary devoted to Our Lady of Graces in the "comune" of Coggiola.
History.
The sanctuary was built from 1888 enlarging an ancient chapel dating back to the 18th century.
The site once was a wetland and the name "Moglietti" (from the local expression "muijeit", swamp) remembers the past ambient. The place is also known as "the battlefield" because, according to the local tradition, there has been a battle between the citizen of Coggiola and Fra Dolcino and his fellows.
Description.
Today the sanctuary is composed by a small church, with apse, portico, belltower, and a small hostel. The ancient votive column with the fresco of the Virgin Mary with baby Jesus is still preserved in the church. In front of the sanctuary there is the characteristic fountain that can be found in every sanctuary in the Biellese territory.
Inside the church are exposed the many Ex voto donated by the devotees.
