Santa Maria del Soccorso, Religious shrine in Prato, Italy
The Santa Maria del Soccorso features a Greek cross plan with four equal-sized arms and a central dome supported by twelve circular windows.
Construction of the church commenced in 1484 following reports of an animated Madonna and Child painting, leading Lorenzo de Medici to commission the project.
The interior decoration includes Renaissance elements with marble altars, stained glass windows by Domenico Ghirlandaio, and intricate architectural details throughout the space.
Located at Via Roma in Prato, the church maintains regular opening hours for visitors who wish to explore its architectural features and religious significance.
The design by Giuliano da Sangallo influenced later architectural plans for St. Peter's Basilica through its implementation of Renaissance principles and proportions.
