Church of Our Lady of Grace in Montescaglioso

Montescaglioso, Basilicata, Italy

Church of Our Lady of Grace.

It is the oldest church in Montescaglioso.
Attested, already in 1065, as a possession of the abbey of S. Michele, is located at the limit of the early medieval town, but already in the urban fabric of the Norman expansion.
In the early years of the 11th century, it had been restored by the Norman feudal lords of Montescaglioso and, by these, donated to the monks, with the assent of the Archbishop of Acerenza.
The church is made up of a single nave and is covered in vault.
It highlights more historical phases, closely intertwined with the more general ones of the abbey.
