| The Parish church of Madonna delle Grazie (Our Lady of the Graces) is just a few metres from Tutino castle.
It is built in the shape of a Latin cross and has two entrances “the small door” and “the large door”.
It would seem that the first was used for women and the second for men to enter by.
It is highly likely that, in common with many of the churches in this area, Tutino church predated the present 17th -18th century building.
The bell tower was added later, in 1833.
Inside in the two side chapels there are altars with choir stalls, where priests of the Tutino chapter met to celebrate first and second vespers.

| The best time to visit the church is the first Sunday after Easter when la Madonna delle Grazie or Our Lady of Graces is celebrated. |
