Marian sanctuary on the Guarno hill at Contursi Terme, born from an old Franciscan chapel.

Outside the town of Contursi Terme, on top of the hill known as "del Guarno", there once stood an old Franciscan chapel dedicated to Santa Maria della Grazia.It held a statue of the seated Madonna with the Christ Child, probably the same one still venerated today in the sanctuary of Santa Maria Incoronata delle Grazie. From the hill the view sweeps over the Sele valley.
