<p style="text-align: justify;">[<a href="http://www.unescoamalficoast.it/it/beni/item/426-chiesa-santa-maria-delle-grazie" target="_blank">The Church</a>] was built in 1163 and dedicated to S. Matteo del Pendolo until 1727, but already in 1733 it is called S. Maria delle Grazie; the structure has three naves, divided by two round arches on each side, supported by columns with bare, triaxed capitals (on the outside the apses are isolated by two deep niches), with a transept underlined by a step.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The aisles are covered by vaults with pointed vaults, extrados and illuminated by single-light windows.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The central apse is framed by two columns (a motif common to other churches of Ravello).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Next to the entrance a very small room contains traces of a fresco depicting an Agnus Dei, a nursing Madonna and a saint.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The sacristy is an environment parallel to the right aisle, slightly apsed, with a barrel roof.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The bell tower has two registers with a vault extradosata in the bell cell. A cross-vaulted portico precedes the church.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The apse of the right aisle contains the wooden cabinet with the nineteenth-century statue of the Madonna and Child.</p>
