40m의 오르막과 내리막은 약간 과소평가되었습니다. 고도차는 120m이지만, 천천히 걷고 날씨가 너무 덥지 않다면 체력이 약한 사람도 할 수 있습니다.

Monastery and Basilica of Santa Rita da Cascia. This imposing religious complex dedicated to the Saint is certainly worth a visit. It is located along the Via di San Benedetto.

Cascia was a highlight of our trip to Italy and the visit was a matter close to our hearts. Absolutely worth seeing!

This church, dedicated to Saint Rita, is remarkable in many ways. The basilica was only built in the early 1900s (1937-1947) to create a larger church to house the much-visited relics of the former nun, Saint Rita of Cascia, who was canonized in 1931. The facade of the basilica is clad in white travertine from Tivoli. The floor plan is centralized in the form of a Greek cross. Rita of Cascia, born Margherita Ferri Lotti - Mancini (* 1381 in Rome; † May 22, 1457 there) was an Italian widow and Augustinian nun who was venerated as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church. With its simplicity, it has penetrated the hearts of millions of believers around the world: all those who are looking for a way to face everyday life, often filled with difficulties, with hope.

The mountain village of Roccaporena at the foot of Mount Rucino (1,033 metres) is located in the municipality of Cascia and represents the place where Rita da Cascia lived from the year of her marriage until the day she was admitted to wear the habit of the Order of Sant'Agostino.

The Scoglio di Santa Rita is also known as the Scoglio di Roccaporena. 827 meters high, the "Rocca del Barone" once stood on its top, a late Roman watchtower which was later replaced with the small church which can be reached by walking along the stepped path. The church dates back to 1919: it was restored in 1941 and in 1979 it was completely rebuilt following the violent earthquake of that year.

The basilica of Santa Rita da Cascia is part of the sanctuary of the same name, a complex that includes various structures, places where the saint lived. Inside the church, in the chapel of Santa Rita, a crystal urn contains the body of the Saint.

The village of Monteleone di Spoleto is an ancient medieval castle that rises to almost a thousand meters in the province of Perugia. It is surrounded by three walls and retains its original appearance with stone houses and narrow streets.
