Casale Carocci: what to see nearby

Preci is linked to the Preci school of surgery, whose surgeons became known across Europe for treating cataracts and hernias. Among them was Durante Scacchi, who operated on the cataract of Queen Elizabeth Tudor of England. The surgeons' instruments belong to the Museo della Scuola Chirurgica, housed in the 14th-century church of Santa Caterina, which is currently listed as closed to the public. The village also has the Romanesque church of Santa Maria della Pietà, with its bell tower, and, in the Peschiera park, the church of the Madonna della Peschiera, rebuilt in 1598.

In the territory of Preci stands the Abbey of Sant'Eutizio, founded in 470 by the Syrians Saint Spes and Saint Eutizio: damaged by the earthquake, it is undergoing restoration. The 2016 earthquake hit many historic buildings in the municipality, so check the condition of the monuments before visiting. Other accommodation is listed on the page where to stay in Preci.
