Madonna delle Grazie

The Madonna delle Grazie sanctuary displays exterior red brick structures and features a large central hall with a smaller side nave.

The construction of the sanctuary began in 1480 under Pope Innocent VIII's approval, following a reported miraculous event involving two disputing brothers.

The sanctuary hosts two major religious celebrations annually: one on May 6 commemorating the plague's end, and another on August 15 for the Assumption.

The sanctuary contains an impressive 17th-century main altar and houses a significant painting attributed to Giovanni Bellini from approximately 1478.

According to local records, the sanctuary's construction originated from a dispute over a painting where a newborn allegedly spoke as the Virgin Mary.
