Tips
The Monastery of San Benedetto is an important spiritual place, built almost a thousand years ago to guard the cave where the young Benedetto da Norcia spent his hermit life before dedicating himself to the cenobitic life. Even today, the Sacro Speco emanates the intense and courageous spiritual choice of the young Benedict, inspiring visitors.
