Granitic hill located east of the city of Nuoro, at the top is the statue of the redeemer. It was also a historic finish in the Giro di Sardegna.

History According to legend, the Sanctuary was born thanks to an archaic wooden statue found by a shepherd in the 17th century, who miraculously healed the city from the plague. The ancient sacred building was built in 1670, thanks to the project by Nicola Ruiu Manca, then replaced by a church in 1946. Since 1957, the icon of the Madonna delle Grazie has been kept in the new Sanctuary, next to the church. The Sanctuary The new Sanctuary was designed in the 1950s by the architect Don Verri and is characterized by a high facade, in polished granite, decorated with mosaics representing the fifteen Mysteries of the Rosary. Of the ancient Sanctuary we can only notice the facade, consisting of an ornate portal and a trachyte rose window, derived from the older church of Nuoro. The Sanctuary, as a whole, is formed by a very simple architectural scheme: an elongated room, covered by a barrel vault, which ends in a square presbytery. Inside we can admire two superimposed altars where, in the upper altar, the Virgin of Grace is kept. The small wooden sculpture represents a young woman holding the Child to her breast with her left hand and who, in turn, holds the world in the palm of her hand. To appreciate the cycle of seventeenth-century frescoes that outline the figures of the twelve Apostles with other Saints. Noteworthy is the imposing bell tower, which was also part of the previous Sanctuary. Source: https://www.vaticano.com/turismo/scheda_19_santuario-di-nostra-signora-delle-grazie.html
