The Church of the Madonna della Difesa (Italian: Chiesa della Madonna della Difesa French: Église de Notre-Dame-de-la-Défense) is a Catholic church in Montreal’s Little Italy Canada. It was built by Italian immigrants to the city specifically those from Molise to commemorate the apparition of the Madonna in La Difesa in Casacalenda Molise. It was designed by Roch Montbriant and Quebec artist Guido Nincheri. It is Romanesque in style and laid out in a Greek-cross floorplan.
