The logic of planning would be to say that the constructions were organized on both sides of the unique path, allowing access from the bridge to the Marian sanctuary of the collegiate church and its small monastery. The flow of pilgrims and local agropastoral activities would have generated the necessary constructions to satisfy their socio-economic needs and which are reflected today by all these picturesque old houses, which can be admired all along the street. main. The miraculous discovery of the black virgin led to the construction of the church and the descent of the inhabitants into the valley to settle nearby.
