Database: Madonna dell’Orto

REBECCAC84: I know you want to climb that bell tower.

Erected by the Humiliati, a penitential order, in the 14th Century, Madonna dell’Orto was initially dedicated to St. Christopher. When a “miraculous” statue of the Virgin was found in a nearby orchard (Orto in Italian), the church was renamed. The façade was added in 1464.
