Church of the Madonna di sopra la Porta, located in the medieval village of Suvereto, in the province of Livorno.
The church was built in 1480 and expanded in 1772 to commemorate a miraculous event that saved the inhabitants from a violent flood.
According to history, during the flood, the heavy gates of the village inexplicably opened inward, allowing the water to flow out and saving the community.
The relief lunette over the main portal, depicting the Blessing Redeemer, is attributed to Vittor Ghiberti.
