A BEAUTIFUL EYE IN THE ROCK

TEMPLE SET IN A CAVE...BEAUTIFUL

unmissable place for visitors to the Genga-Frasassi area

A place of fortifications, nature and legends, the area of the Monte Acuto fortress, commonly known as the Roccaccia, because of a nobleman who tyrannized over the local population, is located on a rock formation between two valleys, at 740 meters above sea level. Of this ancient fortress today only a few remains of a tower and sections of masonry remain standing, erected in these places considered safe during the war between the Byzantines and the Lombards. Numerous legends are still told of mysterious weavers, of hens that laid golden eggs, of snakes guarding hidden treasures, tales of battles along the Potenza river valley below, but also stories of sanctity, such as that of the young Santa Sperandia who lived in solitude in a cave right on these mountains. A wild kingdom due to its isolation, for this reason so loved by hermits, but particularly beautiful and full of views that today represents the border between the municipalities of San Severino Marche, Treia and Cingoli.

For those who arrive at the Foro degli Occhiali and want to further explore the surrounding environment or enter the hole, it is possible to do so with the via ferrata. Obviously, you need mountaineering, climbing or advanced hiking experience. I also recommend the use of a harness, helmet and suitable shoes. Remember that what you go down you have to go back up or vice versa. There is also the possibility of doing a circular tour. Prepare yourself with maps or guides.. departure from Pierosara, Rosenga, Vallemania or Gola di Frasassi

A natural window overlooking the Frasassi gorge. At the right times you can admire special plays of light. For the bravest, you can enter the hole, making a small descent with the utmost attention. Obviously recommended only to hikers with climbing, mountaineering or via ferrata experience. There are cables and/or ropes. The descent into the hole is slippery, some rocks are crumbly, and remember what you go down you should go back up!

Well preserved! A few years ago they were even renovating some parts. Well-kept garden and grounds. Behind the hermitage there are geological formations due to erosion in the sandstone rock. There is a well hidden in a kind of cave. I would say everything to explore. Suitable for everyone, even children.
