The Hermitage of Calomini is an ancient place of worship located in Garfagnana, along the road that leads to the town of Vergemoli, above Gallicano.
The suggestive architectural complex is located at the base of a large overhanging wall and according to a tradition it was built right in the place where a jet of pure water gushed from the rocks and the image of the Madonna was revealed to a shepherdess of Calomini.
The oldest part is the sacristy, carved into the rock with chisels presumably before the year 1000, which was probably the original nucleus of the place of worship.

The Hermitage of Calomini is a suggestive architectural complex located at the base of a large overhanging wall about 70 meters high, it is embedded for 15 meters inside the rock.The Hermitage of Calomini is located along the road to Vergemoli, above the inhabited by Gallicano.The church of the hermitage was built close to the facade of the mountain, or rather more than half, with the sacristy and almost the entire convent, remains inside an excavation made inside the mountain, with the use of a single chisel. The top of this excavation ends in a very wide whitish vault. Excavated in the bare rock, this hermitage peeps out among the very high rocks of the mountain which houses the sacristy of the church and a large part of the convent. eighteenth-century, you enter the sacristy, the original nucleus of the place of worship, which was furnished in 600 with splendid sculpted furniture.From here you continue into the old kitchen and into the cells of the friars, also excavated like the sacristy
