Madonna di Miralta Sanctuary

The small church, entitled to the Assumpt Virgin Mary, is located on the ridge of the hill with the same name, at the extreme South of the town towards Villareggia, where the first residential settlements took place. There are numerous references, starting from the X Century, to the village of Miralta (or Miralda), feuded by the De Bondoni family and from the XIII Century progressively abandoned by its inhabitants. Today the sanctuary, dating back to the X Century, is the only surviver of the antique Medieval town centre, now completely disappeared. The single nave building, with a bell tower on a side, still preserved - at least in the back part - the Romanesque building, despite the many renovations and the deep transformations which took place especially with the twentieth Century addition and the building of the neoclassical pronao (colonnade) on the facade.
