Church of Our Lady of Grace in Terracina: the church that changed its name and face
The Church of Madonna delle Grazie is located outside the old town centre of Terracina. This church has had at least three lives: first, a building we know almost nothing about, then a papal dedication in the 12th century, and finally a 17th-century renovation that led to its current appearance.
From St Mary of the New Basilica Our Lady of Grace
In 1163, Pope Alexander III dedicated this church to Santa Maria della Basilica Nuova, replacing an older structure. A few centuries later, between 1615 and 1645, Bishop Cesare Ventimiglia rebuilt it. It has been known as Madonna delle Grazie ever since.
Practical information
The church is located outside the old town centre of Terracina, in Via Porta Romana, 13.
