Madonna del Rosario, Former baroque church in Siena, Italy.
The Madonna del Rosario features stucco decorations by Pietro d'Austo Montini on its facade, including a representation of God accompanied by angels.
Built between 1655 and 1656 with neighborhood funds, the church was designed by architect Giacomo Franchini and later transformed into an armory in 1813.
The chapel maintains strong connections to the Contrada Chiocciola neighborhood and serves as a gathering point during the Palio di Siena celebrations.
Located 200 meters west of Porta San Marco, between Via San Marco and Via della Diana, the building now functions as a rest area for horses.
The building contains a primitive fresco of a snail beneath the main fresco, symbolizing its connection to the Chiocciola district of Siena.
