Nostra Signora delle Grazie, 17th-century religious sanctuary in Nuoro, Italy

The church features a single nave with a barrel vault, a square elevated presbytery, and a neoclassical altar from the 19th century.

In 1679, Bishop Francesco Lopez de Urraca granted Nicolau Ruju Manca permission to build a church dedicated to the Virgin of Grace.

The church walls display 18th-century frescoes depicting apostles, prophets, and biblical scenes, created by the workshop of Pietro Antonio and Gregorio Are.

Visitors can access the sanctuary through a granite staircase or two side entrances, with one leading to a former pilgrim hostel cloister.

The trachyte portal exhibits zoomorphic and floral designs on its capitals, matching the decorative elements of the rose window above.
