Santa Maria dei Miracoli (i.e. "St. Mary of the Miracles") is a Baroque church located in Ragusa, Sicily.
It was built in the mid-seventeenth century, following the discovery of an image of the Madonna with her Child Jesus. The discovery of the sacred image was considered a miraculous event and gave impetus to the construction of a temple in honor of the Madonna.[1]
