One of the most significant monuments of Abruzzo Romanesque architecture

The Morronese abbey is the abbey of Santo Spirito al Morrone, also known as the Morronese or Celestiniana abbey, located in the hamlet of the same name Badia about 5 km from the Abruzzo town of Sulmona.

Ancient headquarters of the Celestine Order. More recently used as a penitentiary, then abandoned. Now they are trying to bring it back to its former glory.

The Abbey of Santo Spirito al Morrone, better known as Badia Morronese, was for many centuries the main and famous settlement of the Celestines, and represented the vital center of the cultural, religious and civil life of the region. The monumental complex, extending over an area of 16,600 square meters, is located in the foothills of Morrone, in a territory that has always been sacred and in close relationship with the hermitage of S. Onofrio and the Sanctuary of Ercole Curino, both a few steps away on the mountain.

This place is a splendid oasis of tranquility, where the cave is located which was the first modest refuge of the hermit Pietro da Morrone, located on the slopes of the homonymous mountain. You can reach the hermitage through stairs carved into the rock. The climb itself is not too demanding given the modest difference in altitude. However, if the climb is still too tiring, you can travel most of the way by car and park a few meters from the hermitage.
