The Sanctuary of Santa Maria della Steccata is a Renaissance church in the center of Parma, Italy. The name derives from the fence (Italian: steccato) within the church. The Virgin Mary is dedicated to the Capuchins and was crowned on May 27, 1601, by a member of the Capuchin Order, Fray Giacomo di Forli. Pope Benedict XVI elevated the Marian shrine to the status of a minor basilica on February 9, 2008.
