Nostra Signora delle Grazie, Gothic church in Le Grazie, Porto Venere, Italy

Nostra Signora delle Grazie is a church featuring International Gothic architecture located in the village of Le Grazie within Porto Venere. Its structure displays characteristic vertical lines, pointed arches, and stone walls that define this architectural style.

Founded around the 11th century by monks from the nearby island of Tino, who settled in the inlet of Le Grazie; devotion to the Madonna delle Grazie was introduced only from the 15th century. In 1798 the Ligurian Republic's Directory suppressed the religious orders, and General Miollis, Napoleon's lieutenant, expelled the Olivetan monks, heirs of the abbey of San Venerio al Tino. Church, convent, library and monastic archive were then abandoned; the convent is now a private dwelling.

The monks of Tino brought the cult of the Madonna delle Grazie here only from the 15th century, and devotion remains continuous, especially on 8 September for the feast of the Nativity of Mary. The former convent, now a private home, keeps its cloister and refectory, where a fresco cycle including the Crucifixion is attributed to Nicolò Corso.

The shrine stands in the Le Grazie hamlet on via Libertà, reached by the SP 530 provincial road linking La Spezia with Porto Venere. The final approach is a staircase surrounded by olive trees, so the church is not on the waterfront. Drivers can stop along the road; walkers climb the steps from the village.

The church is reached by climbing a staircase lined with olive trees, and the former convent behind it, now a private home, keeps its cloister and refectory intact. In the refectory rooms a fresco cycle was found, including a Crucifixion attributed to Nicolò Corso and probably painted between 1446 and 1503.
