madonna della difesa, Cortina d'Ampezzo (Belluno)
Church of Madonna della Difesa, with annexed municipal cemetery, belongs to Franciscans and is dedicated to Madonna whose cult is particularly felt by the people as it is linked to two miraculous events in defense of the population. Built in 1750 on a pre-existing 14th century chapel, it has a gabled facade with a fresco dedicated to Madonna. The interiors are decorated with statues, paintings, polychrome marbles and golden leaves.
