The Sanctuary takes its name from "tower" because in ancient times it was a Lombard tower, twin of the other Lombard tower that was located at the current Cala di San Giovanni. Both towers were under the dominion of the Lombard Prince Alano, who from his fortress of Breno (currently a ruined castle) governed the entire Valcamonica and Alto Sebino. Following Charlemagne's conquest of the Lombard Kingdom, with an Imperial Decree the two Lombard towers of Sovere and Cala di Lovere were changed from tower to sanctuary, dedicated respectively to the Madonna della Torre and to San Giovanni.
