Hiking

The chapel was built in 1934 by order of Cardinal Federico Tedeschini and is the highest consecrated church in Italy and one of the highest consecrated churches in Europe at 2,150 m above sea level. On June 20, 1993, the church was consecrated by Pope John Paul II after extensive restoration and reconstruction work. Pope John Paul II liked to go incognito in the area around the Campo Imperatore or Gran Sasso. If the weather is nice, you have a sensational view from up here to the Adriatic Sea or inland.
