Madonna delle Grazie, Romanesque church in Misterbianco, Italy
The Madonna delle Grazie church features three naves, rounded arches, solid pillars, and three entrance doors leading to its central square.
Following Mount Etna's eruption in 1669, the church was built with a design resembling the previous main church that had been destroyed.
The interior contains frescoes by Giuseppe Barone depicting evangelists John and Luke, along with a statue of Madonna delle Grazie from 1589.
The church maintains an underground crypt at street level, which now houses a civic museum dedicated to sacred art exhibitions.
The Madonna delle Grazie statue, created by the Gagini school, survived the 1669 Mount Etna eruption and remains preserved in the church.
