카시아 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

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

Beautiful village in excellent recovery

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.

Of course, he must be honored with a monument in the city where he was born: Benedict of Nursia, the father of Western monasticism and one of the patron saints of Europe.

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.
