Basilica of Santa Maria delle Grazie, Gothic church in Cortemaggiore, Italy.

The basilica features architectural elements in Gothic style with ornate brickwork, terracotta decorations, and a rectangular layout with multiple side chapels.

Construction of the church started in 1460 under Count Gaspare Vimercati, who provided land to Dominican priests from the convent of Sant'Apollonia in Pavia.

The interior contains numerous chapels decorated by Northern Italian artists, displaying regional painting techniques and religious themes from the Renaissance period.

The church maintains regular opening hours for visitors, with guided tours available through the local tourism office in Cortemaggiore.

The refectory survived substantial damage during World War II bombings in 1943, leading to extensive reconstruction efforts in subsequent years.
