Madonna delle Grazie, Renaissance shrine in Pontassieve, Italy.
The Madonna delle Grazie sanctuary stands on a hill with views over the Valdarno and Val di Sieve regions, featuring a prominent loggia structure.
The sanctuary originated from a series of Marian apparitions witnessed by a shepherdess near ancient cave hermitages during 1484-1485.
The interior houses a high altar from 1504, wooden statues of Eletta Ricovera and her father, and numerous 17th-century religious paintings.
Visitors can access both the main church level and a lower oratory through an internal staircase that connects the different worship spaces.
The sanctuary contains the original stone where the Virgin Mary appeared, positioned above the altar as a testament to its miraculous origins.
