The Sacro Monte di Orta San Giulio is located on a hill overlooking the city center. It was built at the end of the sixteenth century at the behest of the bishop Carlo Bascapè. There are twenty chapels, in each of which an important moment in the life of St. Francis is told.

Sacro Monte of Orta takes you into the life story of Francis of Assisi.
In a walk along 20 chapels, life phases are beautifully explained.
The whole life story, made in the 16th century, is beautifully depicted. Take your time and inspire.
