Madonna di Loreto, Spoleto, Renaissance church in Spoleto, Italy
The Madonna di Loreto church features a symmetrical Greek cross layout with a projecting cornice and pilasters decorating its simple facade.
Construction of the church started in 1572 following the designs of Florentine architect Annibale de Lippi near the Porta San Matteo gate.
The church houses a 1537 fresco of the Maestà by Jacopo Santoro da Giuliana, which locals believed caused an earthquake to stop through divine intervention.
The church connects to a 300-meter portico that provides covered access for visitors, with the entrance door dating from 1662.
The interior preserves a reproduction of the Santa Casa di Loreto, representing the house where the Virgin Mary lived in Nazareth.
