Madonna del Giglio, Baroque sanctuary in Prato, Italy
The Madonna del Giglio church contains a single nave with seven wooden trusses and a high altar displaying a venerated fresco of the Madonna.
The building underwent transformation from the Oratory of San Silvestro to its current form between 1672 and 1680 following reported miraculous events.
The interior houses numerous artistic works, including a 1705 canvas by Pier Dandini depicting Saints Sylvester, Hyacinth, and Mary Magdalene.
Located at Piazza San Marco 18 in Prato, the sanctuary stands near the Deportation Museum and Civic Museum of Palazzo Pretorio.
The church received its name after a dried lily flower placed before a Marian painting unexpectedly bloomed, leading to its designation as a sanctuary.
