Church of saint Maria del Soccorso, Catholic church in Alcamo, Italy.

The elliptical structure features a white stone portal with a lunette depicting the Virgin Mary among angels at its entrance.

Genoese merchants established the church in the 15th century, and in 1739 the building underwent renovations that transformed its original Gothic design.

The interior displays stucco decorations by Nicolò Curti and houses a 16th-century sculpture of Our Lady of Help by Bartolomeo Berrettaro.

The church stands on Corso 6 Aprile, directly across from the Mother Church, making it central to religious activities in Alcamo.

The statue of Madonna del Soccorso holds a club in her hands, striking a demon at her feet according to traditional imagery.
