What to see near Agriturismo Valle Tezze

The main landmark is the Basilica of Santa Rita in Cascia, consecrated in 1947 and raised to a basilica in 1955: it has a Greek-cross plan, and one of its four apses opens onto the chapel with the crystal and silver urn that holds the saint's body. Next door, the Augustinian cloistered nuns still live in the monastery where Rita spent about forty years. Other countryside options are under Cascia agriturismo stays.
