Madonna delle Grazie, 15th-century church in Calascio, Italy
The Madonna delle Grazie church features stone walls, a simple entrance, and stands near the road leading to Rocca Calascio castle.
The church was constructed during a period of religious expansion in the Abruzzo region, when local nobles supported the development of religious buildings.
The interior of Madonna delle Grazie contains religious sculptures made from local stone, including a Virgin statue and Saint Michael figure.
The church sits along the 3-kilometer hiking path that leads from Calascio village to the Rocca Calascio fortress at 1400 meters elevation.
Madonna delle Grazie remains a testament to medieval stone craftsmanship, with its structure incorporating materials from the surrounding mountain landscape.

Southern Italy contains a wide range of historical sites, religious structures and natural areas that take visitors through more than two millennia of cultural history. The region holds Greek temples such as the Temple of Hera at Metaponto, medieval fortresses including Castello Aragonese in Taranto and Rocca Calascio in Abruzzo, and religious complexes like the Santuario di Monte Sant'Angelo, an important pilgrimage site since the early Middle Ages. Underground catacombs in Naples and Palermo, rock churches in Matera and the Cripta del Peccato Originale show the development of Christian art and architecture. The natural environment ranges from marine protected areas like Riserva Marina di Punta Campanella on the Campanian coast to the Tremiti Islands in the Adriatic. Inland landscapes include Parco Nazionale d'Aspromonte in Calabria, the erosive Calanchi di Aliano in Basilicata and Cavagrande del Cassibile in Sicily. Coastal formations such as the Arco Naturale near Palinuro and sea caves like Grotta della Poesia at Roca Vecchia add to the geographic variety. Cities including Matera with its sassi districts, Lecce with baroque palaces and the Quartieri Spagnoli in Naples illustrate different urban developments. This collection centers on the area around Alberobello, whose trulli structures have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996.
