Worth a visit because of the views. Nice view over Varallo. The displays with all the statues I honestly found ugly and rather macabre. I suspect you have to be devout Catholic to appreciate this sort of thing.

Perfect place for spending in personal prayer and meditation. And for those are interested in history too, it is worth visiting...

I visited because it is a World Heritage Site. The scenery is beautiful, but it can be difficult to understand unless you are a Christian.
