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.
