The evocative and unique Sanctuary Tempietto di Sant'Emidio alle Grotte represents a splendid example of Baroque religious art in the Marche. It is defined as "alle grotte" because it is built against the caves of the ancient Christian necropolis. It is secluded from the urban context, in a place rich in vegetation and silence. Here it is said that the decapitated Saint miraculously brought his own head to be buried. This place of Emidian worship was rediscovered in 1721 when the people of Ascoli wanted to thank their Patron Saint for the protection granted in the earthquake of 1703. The most renowned local architect of the time, Giuseppe Giosafatti, created his project for this purpose: he brought the early Christian caves to light by crumbling the rocky part which was then covered with a delicately sculpted travertine facade.

From the imposing chestnut forest, the main path leads to a clearing located on a huge travertine spur, overlooking the forest. On the rock face, you can see, at the top right, the fascinating structure of the Hermitage of San Marco, a natural cavity closed by a church-shaped building with a bell tower and connected to the path by a stone staircase. The wall, in Romanesque style, is made of ashlar stones and has a single-lancet window and five double-lancet windows. In ancient times, the building housed a convent founded by Cistercian monks at the beginning of the 13th century and consists of two overlapping rooms, connected by a staircase resting on the rock. It is a very “poor” construction, which recalls the Benedictine monastic rule. Inside the Hermitage, it is still possible to find traces of the primitive frescoes painted by the monks on the walls and on the vault of the lower room. On the ceiling of the cave, the splendid “tapestry” of maidenhair fern is noteworthy. The Hermitage of San Marco has been restored and brought back to its maximum splendor. It retains its evocative power that attracts tourists and travelers, lovers of history and nature. (c) https://visitascoli.it/esperienze/colle-san-marco-meta-di-eremiti-nel-corso-dei-secoli/

We were there in July. The route is sunny, I recommend less hot times of the day. There is a drinking fountain in the picnic area before the trailhead but it was out of water. Still a wonderful place

There is an artificial quarry here. I take its name from the Franciscan Beato Corrado, who used this quarry as a hermitage. According to legend he was a priest in Libya, and later a lecturer in Paris. He had decided to retire here to meditate and pray and spend his last days here (as a saint).
