Santa Maria delle Grazie al Calcinaio, Renaissance church in Cortona, Italy.
The church features a symmetrical design with horizontal and vertical lines, stone moldings, pediment windows, and a central dome above the transept.
The construction began in 1485 after an image of Madonna and Child on a tannery wall reportedly performed miracles in 1484.
The interior displays numerous Marian paintings, including a 1530 altarpiece by Jacone showing Madonna with Child and saints representing local guilds.
The church remains open for religious services and guided tours, with access to both the main sanctuary and surrounding chapels.
Francesco di Giorgio Martini designed the building directly into a steep hillside, integrating a stream into the foundation structure.
