Sights around Capoliveri that are worth a mention include the church Madonna delle Grazie. The church is located 2 km outside Capoliveri - if you are fit, it's a beautiful walk along the medieval path from Via Circonvallazione del borgo, but coming back is all up hill! Unfortunately, as with so many other monuments on the island, they are rarely open to the public. This church is open on the 8th December, which is the church's feast day, in addition to (usually) Saturdays during the summer months when there are various exhibitions.
