The hermitage of San Miro is built in memory of San Miro, a hermit of the Franciscan order who is said to have lived part of his life here.

The Hermitage of San Miro is located near Civate, in the province of Lecco, and is one of the most fascinating and evocative places of worship in the Lombardy Prealps. Situated at about 600 meters above sea level on a hill overlooking the town, the hermitage is immersed in a natural setting of great beauty, which offers a panoramic view of Lake Lecco, Mount Barro and the surrounding mountains.

The history of the Hermitage of San Miro dates back to the 13th century, when it was built as a place of prayer and meditation for monks. The name "San Miro" is linked to a religious figure who, according to tradition, lived in solitude in the area, dedicating himself to contemplation and prayer.

To reach the hermitage, follow a path that starts from the town of Civate and climbs through woods and clearings, a route that can be tackled by hikers of all levels. The itinerary also offers a spectacular view of the valley below, providing moments of tranquility and reflection.

The Hermitage of San Miro is an ideal place for a spiritual break and an excursion immersed in nature. In addition to its architectural beauty, the hermitage is a point of reference for those seeking peace and serenity, far from the daily hustle and bustle. It is a recommended destination in all seasons, but particularly beautiful in spring and autumn, when the surrounding vegetation is more lush and the colors of the landscape are vivid.
