Barbana is a small island located in the Grado Lagoon, and it used to be, in fact, connected to the rest of island of Grado until several centuries ago. The reputation of the island was boosted by force of the Marian sanctuary located on it, a place featuring a surprisingly active religious life. Indeed, the famed Perdon de Barbana gathers a large crowd of pilgrims every first Sunday of July. The sanctuary can be visited virtually each day for the religious services provided here by the small community of Franciscans.
