Church of S. Maria degli Angeli o della Concezione

Franciscan Church built in late Lombard Renaissance style, consecrated in 1525 and dedicated to the "Most Holy Virgin of the Angels". Being part of the perimeter line of the new fortification to defend the territory, it was demolished in 1552 by the will of the Duke Ercole II Este, with a project by the architect Terzo Terzi. Terzi himself designed the new church, then rebuilt in 1602, along the Via Roma, then rebuilt between 1720 and 1723, used as a barracks and lazaretto in the Napoleonic era and finally reopened to worship in 1823.
