Santuario della Madonna delle Grazie, Religious sanctuary in Monteodorisio, Italy
Santuario della Madonna delle Grazie is a shrine in Monteodorisio designed in Romanesque Revival style with three naves and decorative cross vaults. The interior spaces feature Liberty-style ornaments and a wooden statue of Madonna with Child.
The site began as a small chapel built around 1000 for shepherds and was later transformed into a Benedictine monastery under Count Pandolfo's direction. This early shift shaped its role as a spiritual center for centuries to come.
The sanctuary remains a place of ongoing devotion, with visitors leaving personal offerings and prayers that reflect centuries of local spiritual practice. These acts of faith shape how the space feels when you walk through it.
The sanctuary is straightforward to visit with open access during daylight hours, though early morning or late afternoon offers a quieter experience. Parking is available nearby and the location is easily reached on foot.
The site is closely tied to a spring that unexpectedly emerged in 1866 during wall repairs and has drawn people seeking healing ever since. This spontaneous water source inspired the construction of the present building.
