Cantalice (660 mamsl) is set on a hill facing the Rieti plain and its three lakes. The town is divided into two parts: Cantalice Superiore, the Medieval quarter, and Cantalice Inferiore, the modern section. Tumbling down a steep rock face, the center is divided in two by a staircase which runs from the church dedicated to San Felice, the Capuchin monk born in Cantalice. The church was built on the original site of the saint’s house. The Santuario di San Felice all’Acqua is also dedicated to this saint, and commemorates the episode in which he miraculously made water spring from the ground to quench the thirst of the local shepherds and peasants.
