What to see near the Mini Hotel in Cascia
The most visited place in Cascia is the Basilica of Santa Rita, on the Colle Sant'Agostino. It holds the body of Saint Rita, displayed in a crystal urn. The church was consecrated in 1947 and raised to the rank of basilica in 1955. The facade is clad in white travertine from Tivoli. The entrance portal, by Eros Pellini, tells the life and miracles of the saint in ten panels. The interior has a Greek-cross plan and is decorated with 20th-century frescoes. The lower basilica holds the tomb of Mother Maria Teresa Fasce, abbess of the monastery, beatified in 1997.
Next to the basilica stands the Monastery of Santa Rita. After the 2016 earthquake many of Cascia's churches stayed closed for a long time, so before visiting it is best to check which sites are open.
A trail links the basilica to Roccaporena and the Scoglio della Preghiera (Rock of Prayer), where the saint used to pray.
