Your Itinerary

Cascia

This tour includes a visit of the most iconic and historical locations in Italy. Cascia is not only associated with the famous Saint, Holy Rita from Cascia, but it was the home of the Roman settlement of Carsulae, destroyed in the 1st century BC by an earthquake. In the middle ages, it was annihilated by the Byzantines and the Lombards, and was later an estate of land held on condition of feudal service for the Trinci family. It was occupied by papal troops in the 15th century, and thenceforth, it was a papal town until the unification of Italy in 1860.

Roccaporena

Cascia was the home of Saint Rita, who was born in the nearby commune of Roccaporena in 1381; she also died there in 1457. After her dedication in 1900, a large shrine was built in Cascia, which is still an important place of pilgrimage, and the house where she was born may still be visited.

Roccaporena, Santuario di S. Rita

Here you can visit some places associated with the Saint, such as her native house, the miraculous rose garden, the church where she was baptized, and the so-called “Scoglio” — a cliff which the Saint used to climb to pray. The Sanctuary and the Rock are the main and unmissable “attractions” here in Roccaporena.
