People say it is the figure of Isabella, the founder of the town.There are other stone figures also one being the Bambino stone which is the figure of the Child Jesus in swaddling clothes. There is also a small square opening at the back of the Abbey which is called the lepers' hole. It is said that the lepers received Holy Communion through this opening.
