The so-called "Sasso Spicco" (Outstanding Rock) is one of the places where St. Francis liked to pray during his visits to La Verna.
The legends say that God revealed to Francis that this strange fissure arose at the hour when Jesus Christ died on Golgotha, as the Evangelist reports, and the rocks split. (Matt 27:14).
