Isolated in the plain along an ancient road between Carignano and Virle, the Sanctuary is and has been thought as a landmark, with the almost cylindrical structure and the particular sign of the triple very high dome that stands out in its white plaster. The coincidence of the rural routes around with those marked by the Charter of Hunts highlights the permanence over time of Vittone's project, still perceptible in the context almost as it was designed.

Located at the edge of a large estate and intended as a chapel "for the farmers of his fund" has next to the residence of the chaplain, present until 1955.
