Madonna del Soccorso

Madonna del Soccorso is a rectangular chapel with angular buttresses between the front facade and side walls, featuring a rectangular doorway. The sanctuary is now integrated into the ground floor of a 19th-century residential building.

The chapel was built in the 15th century outside Scarlino's walls near an ancient powder magazine. It remained consecrated until 1829, when construction began and the residential building was erected above it.

The interior walls display a Renaissance fresco of the Madonna del Giglio, which gave the chapel its alternative name. This religious image still shapes the character of the space today.

The sanctuary is located on the ground floor of a residential building on via della Salnitreria, just near the Porta Pisana gate. Since it is a private location, visitors should check in advance whether access is possible.

After being desecrated in 1829, the sanctuary transformed into a storage space when the residential building was erected above it. This shift shows how a religious structure took on an entirely different purpose.
