What to see near Ristorante da Renato in Cascia

The best-known site in Cascia is the Basilica of Santa Rita. It was built in the 20th century to house the remains of the saint, who was canonized in 1900. It was consecrated in 1947 and raised to the rank of basilica in 1955. The facade is in white travertine from Tivoli and the plan is a Greek cross.

For walkers, the Sentiero di Santa Rita links Cascia to Roccaporena. It starts at the basilica and ends at the Scoglio Sacro (Sacred Rock), where the saint used to pray.

After the 2016 earthquake many of Cascia's churches stayed closed for a long time. In 2020 the Basilica of Santa Rita was reported as the only church open to visitors, so it is best to check in advance whether individual sites are open.
