The Basilica is dedicated to the Madonna delle Grazie, whose wooden statue is preserved in the Cappella del Voto. On the hill, since 1461, well before the Basilica was built, there was a small church, a parish for the local faithful. At that time the hill was "a sharp mountain, and at the end of it a church with three altars located in the same place where the church of the Royal Congregation of Superga is now located, but in a higher site", dedicated to the Madonna but also to St. Anthony and St. Grato.
