Cassino

Cassino is a city in the Lazio region of Italy, world-renowned for its historic Abbey of Montecassino, the birthplace of the Benedictine Order, and for the tragic battle that took place here during World War II. The fully rebuilt city is a symbol of resilience. For pilgrims, it's the last major stop before ascending to the abbey. It offers all necessary services, an interesting archaeological museum, and the Polish War Cemetery, a place for reflection. Visiting Cassino is an immersion into one of the most dramatic episodes of the 20th century and the precursor to one of Christianity's holiest sites.
