Pilgrimage to Cascia

Cascia is the beating heart of Augustinian spirituality.

The pilgrimage to Cascia is the discovery of Saint Rita of Cascia and her message of dialogue and peace. Today, pilgrims and devotees come from all over the world to visit this small village and experience moments of true spirituality.

Cascia is located in the heart of the Valnerina, where the flavours of the typical cuisine are complemented by the refinement of the works of art. All this is immersed in the natural landscape characterised by mountain peaks, rivers and streams, enclosed valleys and ancient villages waiting to be discovered.

The Sanctuary: symbol of the ritual tradition.

The Monastery is the historical place where Saint Rita lived for 40 years as an Augustinian nun and where she died in 1457 at the age of 76. Today, the Monastery is more alive than ever, where the Augustinian monastic community, consisting of about 40 nuns, expresses its life of prayer and consecration to God, also through a constant and daily service to others.
