Santa Maria a Gradi, Renaissance church in Arezzo, Italy

The church features a single hall without transept, adorned with Doric pilasters along the walls and lateral chapels constructed during the 1600s.

The current church structure, completed in 1611, replaced a Benedictine monastery from 1043 mentioned in Pope Leo XI's papal bull.

The church interior contains numerous artworks, including a 1658 canvas by Vincenzo Dandini depicting Saint Andrew Zoerard and Charles Borromeo.

The church maintains its original facade design with a combination of plaster and ashlar stonework, offering visitors a view of Renaissance architecture.

Below the church, an 11th-century Romanesque crypt houses a wooden crucifix dating from between the 13th and 14th centuries.
