Nostra Signora delle Grazie al Molo, Baroque sanctuary in Old Port district, Genoa, Italy.

The Nostra Signora delle Grazie al Molo features a Romanesque bell tower with mullioned windows and houses a crypt beneath its main structure.

The site originated in 658 when Lombard King Ariperto I commissioned a chapel dedicated to Saints Nazarius and Celsus near the port.

The interior displays frescoes by Giovanni Raffaele Badaracco and altarpiece paintings by Antonio Maria Piola and Paolo Gerolamo Piola.

Visitors can access the ancient crypt underneath the church and observe the large water cistern constructed in 1483 in the adjacent square.

The sanctuary holds an Armenian sacred image of Mary, brought by devoted followers to protect it from desecration according to local accounts.
