The Sanctuary of the Madonna della Mutata, near Grottaglie, perhaps dates back to the 10th century. Tradition tells of a miracle in 1359, where the fresco of the Madonna changed the wall, favoring the Grottagliesi. However, a historical theory links the name "Mutata" to a Roman horse changing station. The sanctuary underwent expansions until 1634. Inside, there is a precious artistic heritage, including medieval frescoes, seventeenth-century paintings and a majolica floor that reflects the local art of Grottaglie. A silver statue of the Madonna was created in 1777.
