The Grotta di San Bernardino is a small and fascinating medieval hermitage, nestled at the base of a ten-meter-high limestone pinnacle (the only rock tower in the entire Berici Hills). The building's façade encloses a karst cavity about thirty meters long and ten meters wide. An evocative and mysterious setting. According to tradition, the name derives from the shelter it provided to Saint Bernardino of Siena, who preached in these areas in the 15th century. In the early 16th century, this cave, like others in the Berici Hills, was adapted as a temporary refuge for the local populations, while the Venetian plain was subjected to enemy raids. The oldest prehistoric remains in the Vicenza area (tools and animal bones dating back 200,000 years) were found inside the cave: it was likely used by Neanderthals as a hunting base. Interesting fact: the abundance of animal bones was the main cause of soil removal and the resulting significant impoverishment of San Bernardino's paleontological heritage. In fact, in 1890, the Camerini family, owners of the site, had the rich phosphate material excavated from the cave. It was transported downstream by cableway and used as fertilizer for the fields! The cave is occasionally open to the public, with guided tours organized by the Mossano Tourist Board (Pro Loco), which you can contact for details. http://www.tuttoberici.it/arte/S-Bernardino-Grotta-Mossano.htm https://www.archeoveneto.it/portale/wp-content/filemaker/stampa_scheda_estesa.php?recid=189

The Hermitage of San Cassiano is a little gem of the Berici Hills: a small and ancient building nestled in an imposing rock face, along a narrow ledge, overlooking the eastern plain, in a silent and suggestive environment. It is a building that in its current appearance dates back to the 17th century, erected by incorporating the remains of the ancient church of San Cassiano from the 6th-7th century: the small parish church was built in correspondence with a cave that served as an apse, closed by walls; thirteen tombs carved into the rock were discovered here, ten of which are still visible. N.B.: the hermitage is open only on the first Sunday of each month, managed by a group of volunteers, with free admission and a guided tour (free donation). https://sites.google.com/site/clubspeleologicoproteo/eremodisancassiano?authuser=0

Hermitage of San Cassiano From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The Hermitage of San Cassiano is located in Lumignano, a hamlet of Longare, a municipality in the province of Vicenza. The hermitage, inserted into the eastern rocky wall of the Monte della Croce di Lumignano, is a construction that dates back to the 17th century, built by incorporating the remains of the ancient church of San Cassiano from the 6th-7th century which was located in today's room on the north side of the building. Inserted into the eastern rock face of the Monte della Croce di Lumignano, it is a building that dates back to the 17th century, built by incorporating the remains of the ancient church of San Cassiano from the 6th-7th century[1] which was located in today's room on the north side of the building. The ancient church was built in correspondence with a den that served as an apse, closed by walls, the lower parts of which were brought to light by the 1994 excavation. Thirteen tombs carved into the rock were discovered here, ten of which are still visible. We can distinguish pits of rectangular or trapezoidal shape, of elliptical shape and other anthropomorphic ones, with a hollow where the head of the deceased rested, dating back to a period between the 5th and 9th centuries. Inscriptions engraved on a tombstone were also found, the only one found on site; others are carved directly on the rock face where the pits were created. Tradition has it that here, in the 12th century, Adelaide of Burgundy, empress of the Franks and queen of Italy, found refuge for some time after escaping the imprisonment imposed on her by Berengar when King Lothair II, her husband, was assassinated in 1137. It is also said that, as long as she lived, the grateful queen sent gifts to the penitents who retreated here to pray[2]. The complex became the private property of the Padua Dottori family from the 17th century until the end of the 18th, when it passed to Nicolò Leoni who in 1825 sold it to the Da Schio family, to whom it still belongs.

Apart from the first Sunday of the month the hermitage is closed by a gate and the hermitage is not even visible from there, so it is not worth going up, except for a walk in the woods.
