    The Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of the Castle, a magnificent example of Baroque architecture, dominates the Fiorano hill, in the place where the ancient castle stood, near the historic village. It is the symbol of the town and a visual reference point for those coming from the plain.
    It was built in 1634 by Duke Francesco I d'Este, based on a design by Bartolomeo Avanzini, architect of the Ducal Palace of Sassuolo, to house the image of the Madonna and Child, a fifteenth-century fresco on the wall, traditionally coming from the entrance portal of the destroyed castle. Several miraculous events were attributed to the protection of the image which saved the town of Fiorano from fires, attacks and plagues, as evidenced by the numerous votive offerings collected over the centuries.

      It deserves to be visited only for the tough climb that leads there
