The underground church dedicated to the cult of the Madonna delle Grazie is located in the homonymous farm, in an internal road parallel to the provincial road that connects Putignano and Gioia del Colle.
 
The story tells that the construction of the site is due to some religious from the East who settled in the place and founded a small convent dedicated to the cult of the Madonna delle Grazie.
 
The people of Putignano have kept their devotion to this sanctuary alive over the centuries. In ancient times there was the custom to go on pilgrimage to it every Saturday to listen to Mass or perform other religious rites.
 
Since 1500 the Archconfraternity of the Sacrament has had the commitment and the right to organize the celebrations in honor of the Madonna on the third Sunday of May. On this occasion, in addition to the mass, there is the procession with the Blessed Sacrament and with the statue inside the surrounding woods.
 
On the entrance door to the cave you can see a plaque confirming that the arrangement of the cave "Ad honorem S.M. Virginis fecit diaconum Hieronimus De Miccolis A.D. 1568"
