Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, Renaissance basilica and shrine in Brescia, Italy.
The church features three naves divided by Corinthian columns, decorated with stucco, gold, and frescoes by multiple Italian Renaissance artists.
Construction began in 1522 under architect Lodovico Barcella to house Gerolomini monks after their original church was destroyed.
The cloister contains a Renaissance courtyard with a fountain and walls covered in ex-voto artworks from local devotees.
