Roccaporena

Roccaporena, a small village nestled in a narrow valley of Umbria, is a place of deep spirituality as it is the birthplace of Saint Rita of Cascia, "the saint of the impossible". For pilgrims walking the Cammino di San Benedetto, a detour to this location is an immersion into popular faith. One can visit her nativity house, "Scoglio Sacro" where she prayed, and the sanctuary. The surroundings, surrounded by mountains, are of great beauty and invite contemplation. Roccaporena is a haven of peace, a place for prayer and reflection, allowing the pilgrim to connect with one of the most revered figures in Christianity.
