Santa Maria in Monserrato degli Spagnoli
The 16th century church of Santa Maria in Monserrato degli Spagnoli, the national church of the Spanish, is dedicated to the Madonna of Montserrat, an ancient and a much venerated image of the Virgin, which is located in a shrine on the mountain of Montserrat near Barcelona. 

Montserrat translates as the 'serrated mountain', hence the presence of a saw in the sculpture of the Virgin and Child, above the entrance to the church.
