About this place

The Santuario di Nostra Signora delle Grazie sits in the hamlet of San Bernardino at 300 metres above sea level, affording sweeping views across Cinque Terre. The sanctuary was substantially restored during the 19th century. Its elevated position offers a commanding vantage point of the terraced villages and coastline below, making it worth a visit for both its religious significance and panoramic outlook.

High Altar with Icon of the Madonna and Child

High Altar with Icon of the Madonna and Child

The high altar of the sanctuary features a painting of the Virgin and Child, the focal point of devotion at this site. This revered image was formally crowned in 1874 and remains the centrepiece of worship within the church. Visitors to Monterosso al Mare will find it at the heart of the temple's spiritual life.

Lateral Ovals with Saint Bernard and Saint Bernardino

Lateral Ovals with Saint Bernard and Saint Bernardino

Two oval paintings hang on the side walls of the sanctuary, depicting Saint Bernard of Clairvaux and Saint Bernardine of Siena respectively. Originally part of a single composition that included an image of the Virgin and Child, these works were later separated. The oval frames remain distinctive features of the interior decoration in Monterosso al Mare's sanctuary.

Madonna dei Tarsi (obra de Giuliano Carro)

Madonna dei Tarsi (obra de Giuliano Carro)

The Madonna dei Tarsi is a striking work by master craftsman Giuliano Carro, located in the piazza of the Santuario di Nostra Signora delle Grazie at San Bernardino in Monterosso al Mare. This singular piece is fashioned from carefully assembled stones of varying sizes, cleverly arranged to form the image of the Virgin Mary. Worth a visit to appreciate the artisan skill involved in this mosaic-like creation.
