What to see near Agriturismo La Commenda

In Cascia, a visit almost always starts from the Basilica of Santa Rita and the monastery: the basilica was consecrated in 1947 and holds the body of the saint, who died in 1457, while the 13th-century monastery preserves her cell and the rose garden linked to her last miracle. On the hill, near the remains of the fortress, stands the Gothic church of Sant'Agostino, with frescoes of the Umbrian and Perugian school; near Porta Leonina, the church of Sant'Antonio Abate preserves two cycles of 15th-century frescoes and is part of the museum network together with the civic museum in Palazzo Santi in Cascia, which displays important archaeological finds.

A few kilometers away is Roccaporena, Saint Rita's birthplace, with her family home, the Scoglio della Preghiera (Rock of Prayer) and the sanctuary built in 1948. On the Chiavano plateau, at Villa San Silvestro, the remains of a Roman temple can be visited.
