Cascia

Cascia is a small and charming village located in the Umbria region, in central Italy. He is best known for his connection with Saint Rita of Cascia, one of the most venerated saints of the Catholic Church. The Shrine of Santa Rita in Cascia is the place where her life and spirit are celebrated, attracting thousands of pilgrims every year. Inside the sanctuary, the body of Saint Rita is preserved, which has been the object of veneration since the moment of her canonization in 1900. The sanctuary has become a center of spirituality and prayer, where the faithful ask for graces and favors, inspired by the example of the saint's life. The figure of Saint Rita remains, therefore, one of the most significant in Christianity, a symbol of unwavering faith and unconditional love. Cascia is also surrounded by unspoilt nature, with mountainous landscapes that make it an ideal destination for those seeking relaxation and direct contact with the natural beauty of Umbria.
