The spiritual charm of the sanctuaries is often amplified by the splendid landscapes offered by the places that host them: this is also the case for the tiny island of Barbana, in the lagoon of Grado, where this Marian sanctuary of ancient origin is located, today home to a community of Friars Franciscan Minors.
According to tradition the origin of the sanctuary dates back to 582 AD, when a violent storm threatened the city of Grado. At the end of the storm an image of the Madonna, carried by the waters, was found on the island near the huts of two hermits. Here, the patriarch of Grado Elia had a sepulcher built as thanks to the Madonna for having saved the city. Soon the island became the permanent residence of a community of monks and destination of frequent pilgrimages.
