The La Verna Sanctuary
Immersed in the wooded Tuscan Apennines, on a rock spur overlooking a ravine, this sanctuary-convent is composed of a complex of buildings which has expanded over the centuries.

Monastero di Sant’Angelo di Panzo
A few hundred meters from the route halfway up the slope between Spello and Assisi–just a few minutes along Via Fosso delle Carceri–this complex now hosts holiday apartments. Probably not originally a monastery, but a female religious community living alongside a church, dedicated to a life of prayer and penitence. Francis moved Saint Clare here …

Eremo e Convento di Monteluco

The lucus (literally “clearing in the woods where sunlight passes”) was a sacred grove for the Romans and, in the 5th century, a community of hermits fleeing from Syria settled in this forest of holm oaks and hundreds …
