Basilica Santa Maria della Steccata
This outstanding Renaissance church, one of the most splendid of the town, was begun in 1521 in order to give shelter to a picture of the Madonna said to be miraculous that originally hung on the wall of a small oratory called "dello steccato" or wooden shield.
Consecrated in 1539, the church is built in an elegant Bramante style in the shape of a Greek cross with semicircular apses and square corner chapels. Pilasters, windows and mullions are topped by a marble dome with loggia and lantern, almost certainly built with the help of Antonio da Sangallo the Younger, who had come to Parma in 1526, sent by Pope Clement VII to strenghten the city's defenses. In the interior, to the left of the entrance, is the tomb of Count Adam Neipperg, the morganatic husband of Marie Louise of Austria, built between 1829 and 1831 by Lorenzo Bartolini.
