The itinerary also includes a visit to the Oratory of Santa Barbara, of which the earliest records date back to 1660 dedicated to the cult of the Madona of Caporciano. Rebuilt in 1789, in 1842 the oratory was dedicated to the patron saint of miners, Santa Barbara. Inside is the painting of Our Lady of Guadalupe, a valuable work by Mexican painter Juan Rodríguez Xuárez.
