Embark on a unique journey through the Region of Umbria and explore one of its most revered and frequented religious sites, while immersing yourself in the mysticism of the location. Umbria is the birthplace of universally recognized saints such as St. Francis, Italy’s patron saint and the originator of the Franciscan order; St. Clare, the creator of the St. Clare order; and the equally renowned St. Rita of Cascia. Born in Roccaporena in 1381, she is a cherished figure of the Catholic Church, symbolized by roses and figs.
The Basilica, constructed in 1937 and dedicated in 1947, stands as a testament to these religious figures. The Monastery, her residence for four decades, was restored in the 18th Century and is home to the Augustinian nuns. Enjoy a leisurely lunch (at your own expense) at a traditional restaurant or use this time for private prayer. The journey then proceeds to Spoleto, a stunning medieval hill town, housing buildings of the Etruscan and Roman era like a theater and an amphitheater in the upper village.
