Sanctuary of the Madonna delle Grazie, Religious shrine in Legnano, Italy.

The Sanctuary of Madonna delle Grazie features a main nave with side chapels and a tall presbytery adorned with marble decorations and religious artwork.

The construction of the sanctuary began on October 4, 1611, following the authorization from Cardinal Federico Borromeo to replace a smaller existing church.

The interior houses numerous artistic treasures, including paintings by Francesco Lampugnani, works by Legnanino, and frescoes depicting religious figures and scenes.

The sanctuary maintains its original marble covering, restored in 1936, and includes a portico that provides shelter for visitors during inclement weather.

The sanctuary's creation stems from an account of two deaf-mute children who experienced a vision of the Madonna in a small chapel during a storm.
