It stands near Villa Litta, and the facade of the Sanctuary can be seen from the cooperative shop. The building dates back to the 17th century and was erected as a thanksgiving for saving the population from the plague. Inside, there are various 17th and 18th-century paintings. It is open for religious services. During the guided tour, you can admire the shrine of Saint Clement the Martyr located in the chapel of Saint Andrew.

The Sanctuary of Santa Maria delle Grazie (also known as the Church of the Blessed Virgin of Graces) is one of the most important historical places of worship in Lainate, located at Via Pompeo Litta, 50.
The building stands in the heart of the historic center, just a few steps from the entrance to the famous Villa Borromeo Visconti Litta.
Seventeenth-century origins: The construction of the church dates back to around 1640.
Pestilence vow: It was enlarged and embellished by the citizens as a thank you to the Madonna for having spared Lainate from the devastating plague epidemic of 1630.
