Madonna del Baraccano, Bologna

The Sanctuary of the Madonna del Baraccano is a Renaissance style, Roman Catholic church, located at Piazza del Baraccano 2 at the southern edge of the formerly walled central Bologna, region of Emilia-Romagna, Italy. The church was built at the site of city wall, where a Madonna image was painted, hence called Madonna of the Barricade. Presently much at the site is undergoing restoration after the May 2012 earthquake.
