What to see near La Porrina in Cascia

In Roccaporena, the Sanctuary of Santa Rita can be visited, designed by the Turin architect Oreste Della Piana and consecrated in 1948. The Casa Natale (birth house) is a 14th-century stone building on two levels. At the Orto del Miracolo (Garden of the Miracle) there is a bronze statue by Rodolfo Maleci.

The Scoglio di Santa Rita takes more effort. The climb is about 120 meters, up to 827 meters above sea level. It is very steep, with many steps, and cannot be done in a wheelchair. The walk takes about an hour. Going up and down from the Grotta d'Oro or the Orto del Miracolo takes much less time.
