    Hiking

    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.

    The monastery stands in the curvature of an immense rock wall of Mount Taleo and is supported by nine high arches, partly ogival.

    This monastery was built about 1000 years ago, with the aim of guarding the cave in which Benedict of Norcia lived a hermit's life.
