MONTECASSINO ABBEY AND SUBIACO

Discover two iconic places of spirituality and Italian history with a fascinating tour to Montecassino and Subiaco through evocative landscapes, monastic silence and centuries-old heritage.

The journey begins in Rome, heading toward Montecassino, home to the renowned Abbey founded by Saint Benedict in 529 AD, the cradle of the Benedictine Order and a major cultural and religious landmark in Europe. Here you will admire the abbey complex, rebuilt after World War II, its cloisters, Basilica and Museum, all framed by breathtaking panoramic views over the Liri Valley.

The tour continues to Subiaco, a place deeply connected to the life of Saint Benedict, where he lived as a hermit. The visit includes the remarkable Sacro Speco (Holy Cave), a monastery built into the rock and adorned with extraordinary medieval frescoe. At the end of the visits, return to Rome, carrying with you a rich experience of art, faith and nature. An ideal itinerary for those seeking an intense and rejuvenating day, retracing the origins of Western monasticism in an atmosphere of peace and contemplation.
