St Mary of Graces Catholic Church - Terra Santa

The church of the Latin community of Larnaka

The Church of Terra Santa, known as Santa Maria delle Grazie, is the church of the Latin community of Larnaka.

In 1596, the Franciscan monk Callixte Martel made the church and the Monastery to accommodate Latin pilgrims on their way to the Holy Land.

In 1724 a larger church and monastery was built to replace the first one. In 1842 they were destroyed again and replaced by the current Church of Terra Santa and the Monastery.

Terra Santa's architecture combines impressive Renaissance and Baroque features.

The Monastery is inhabited by Catholic nuns from Italy, characterized by a long tradition of charity activities in the local community of Larnaka. They currently maintain a nursing home in the church.
