The Cave of Sant'Angelo di Lettomanoppello in the Vallone di Sant'Angelo is a place of uncertain origin, mentioned in the Decrees of the First Holy Visit of the bishop of Chieti in 1844. It is believed that the hermitage is dated thanks to the presence of a statue of San Michele Arcangelo similar to that of San Tommaso in Caramanico, dating back to the XIII century. According to legend, the hermitage was inhabited by a man of holiness, but he mysteriously disappeared leaving behind the statue of the angel. In front of the rocky outcrop where a church once stood, today only a rectangular enclosure remains called the Bed of Sant'Angelo. Furthermore, in front of the church is the Fonte del Garzillo.

The Hermitage of San Giovanni all'Orfento is an ideal place to go in the summer, when it's cooler in the mountains. Here the snow persists from October to April, so keep that in mind when choosing your shoes. If you love forest walks, the trails around here are great. The entrance to the Hermitage is not for the faint of heart, but the feeling you get at the end is worth it. Plan to bring food with you, as the walks can be long and there is nothing at the top.

The hermitage is made up of two elements: the church and the part of the house. The hypothesis is that the origins go back to the use of the cave for prayer, then transformed into agro-pastoral use. The church was rebuilt in 1948.

The Hermitage of San Bartolomeo was built inside a wall of the San Bartolomeo valley, and was frequented by Pope Celestine V.
