The Town

Discover Leonessa

Leonessa is a medieval gem nestled in an alpine plateau of the Apennines, a beautiful stop on the Cammino di San Benedetto. Founded in the 13th century, it preserves an harmonious urban layout and a rich heritage. Its April 7 Square, with its Renaissance-era fountain, is the heart of local life. The churches of San Pietro and San Francesco house valuable works of art. For pilgrims, Leonessa is an oasis of services on a demanding mountain stretch. Surrounded by peaks, it's an ideal place to enjoy nature, mountain cuisine, and an atmosphere that has preserved its authenticity over the centuries. An unforgettable stop in Lazio.
