Among the places of worship, the Santuario della Beata Vergine della Salute stands out, located in Pian delle Merie, not far from the center of Poffabro. 

It was built starting from 1873 in neoclassical style as a votive offering by the population who turned to the Madonna for help against the cholera that was rampant in the area. 

People indeed tell that the Madonna appeared in the form of a dove to a little girl near the hill of Lastra. It perched on her hand and told her that if the inhabitants built a small chapel in her honor right in that place, they would be saved.

The Sanctuary according to www.vivivalcolvera.it 

At Pian Delle Merie, a couple of kilometers from Poffabro, it strikes anyone heading towards Andreis through the Pala Barzana. Situated atop a cliff, it was strongly desired by the population of Pian Delle Merie, decimated by cholera. As a corner stone recalls, the work began on September 2, 1873, to fulfill a vow: Pian Delle Merie had lost as many as twenty-five people due to the epidemic and chose the rugged “Ciucul da La Lastra” (a hill under a stone slab of Mount Raut) to erect, under the precise indications of the Madonna della Salute who appeared – it is said – in the form of a dove, this luminous sanctuary with clean neoclassical lines.
