Isola del Liri. Church of Our Lady of Graces

The small church of Our Lady of Grace is located inside the Boncompagni castle built on a rock spur that is part of the historic centre of the town of Isola del Liri.

The church dates back to the eighteenth century and is a small circular building and was built out of the apse of the former church of San Lorenzo destroyed by an earthquake.

Inside you can admire an inlaid marble altar above which there is a seventeenth-century canvas representing a Madonna with a child between San Domenico and San Tommaso.

In a niche of the church there is an eighteenth-century terracotta sculpture that represents the period of rest after the escape into Egypt.

The chapel is used to celebrate weddings or events and is open to the public during the Feast of Our Lady of Grace in September.
