Maria Santissima del Soccorso

Maria Santissima del Soccorso, Baroque church in Palmi, Italy.

Maria Santissima del Soccorso is a Baroque church in Palmi with a gabled facade. Its single entrance is raised four steps and framed by two half-columns supporting a broken triangular pediment; two pairs of Ionic capitals rise from a stone base and carry a larger curved pediment. The interior has one rectangular nave ending in a curved apse, with marble side altars.

A church dedicated to the Madonna del Soccorso is documented in Palmi from 1533, the year of the event known as the "miracle of Palmi". It was elevated to a parish in 1733. After the 1783 earthquake it was demolished and rebuilt in 1788 under the engineer Pietro Galdo; damaged again in 1894 and 1908, it was rebuilt in its present form by Calabrian craftsmen.

The church keeps the venerated statue of the Madonna del Soccorso and is the seat of the Confraternity of the Most Holy Sacrament and of Maria Santissima del Soccorso, still active here. The parish was erected in 1733. In 1533 the church is already attested, the year of the event known as the "miracle of Palmi".

The church stands in Palmi's historic centre on the small piazzetta del Soccorso. The single entrance is reached by four steps from the churchyard, so step-free access is not available. The parish moved here in 1733 and the building was restored in 1997 and 2003.

The church keeps the venerated statue of the Madonna del Soccorso, and tradition links the building to the 1533 event known as the "miracle of Palmi". In that period the blessed Capuchin Ludovico Comi of Reggio Calabria preached outside the church before a large crowd.
