Overview

Depart DA Rome with a small group and accompanied by your tour assistant and your driver immerse yourself in the hilly landscape of Lazio, where millennial history meets the quiet of nature. The first stop of the tour is the imposing Abbey of Montecassino, founded DA da San Benedetto in 529 AD.C. An expert Guide will accompany you to discover one of the most symbolic places of Western Christianity. Among monumental courtyards, silent cloisters and a richly decorated basilica, centuries of history, spirituality and reconstruction are retraced – from antiquity to the dramatic events of World War II. After a lunch break, you reach Subiaco and its hidden jewel: the Shrine of the Sacred Speco, perched on the rock, which seems to merge with the mountain itself. Visit the sanctuary among medieval frescoes, chapels set in stone and the cave where Saint Benedict lived as a hermit DA. The tour ends in the late afternoon with the return to Rome.

Activity itinerary

Abbazia di Montecassino
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Monte Cassino Abbey is one of the most famous and oldest monasteries in Europe, founded in 529 AD.C. DA San Benedetto DA Norcia. It is located on a hill near the city of Cassino, in Lazio, and represents the place where the Benedictine order was born. Over the centuries, the abbey has been destroyed and rebuilt several times, most recently during World War II, when it was almost completely razed to the ground by bombings in 1944. However, it was faithfully rebuilt and today is an important religious, cultural and tourist center. The current building houses a beautiful basilica, a rich library and numerous works of art. It is considered a symbol of spiritual and cultural revival of medieval Europe.
Santuario del Sacro Speco - Monastero di San Benedetto
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
The Sanctuary of San Benedetto, also known as Sacro Speco, is set in the rock of the mountain overlooking Subiaco, in the heart of Lazio. It is a place that seems suspended in time, born around the cave where Saint Benedict lived DA a hermit, in silence and prayer, at the beginning of the sixth century. The monastery climbs the mountain face with an almost surreal beauty: arches, stairs, corridors and chapels intertwine in a spiritual and artistic path that follows the rock, as if not to disturb it. The interiors are a succession of ancient frescoes, which tell stories of saints and faith with colors still alive. Here you breathe a deep silence, broken only by the sounds of nature and the slow pace of visitors. It is a place that invites recollection, but also wonder: a sanctuary that is born from hiding and becomes a treasure visible to those who seek, even for a moment, something eternal.
