Route

1. Monte Cassino Abbey is one of the most famous and oldest monasteries in Europe, founded in 529 AD.C. DA San Benedetto DA Norcia. It is located on a hill near the city of Cassino, in Lazio, and represents the place where the Benedictine order was born. Over the centuries, the abbey has been destroyed and rebuilt several times, most recently during World War II, when it was almost completely razed to the ground by bombings in 1944. However, it was faithfully rebuilt and today is an important religious, cultural and tourist center. The current building houses a beautiful basilica, a rich library and numerous works of art. It is considered a symbol of spiritual and cultural revival of medieval Europe.

2. The Sanctuary of San Benedetto, also known as Sacro Speco, is set in the rock of the mountain overlooking Subiaco, in the heart of Lazio. It is a place that seems suspended in time, born around the cave where Saint Benedict lived DA a hermit, in silence and prayer, at the beginning of the sixth century. The monastery climbs the mountain face with an almost surreal beauty: arches, stairs, corridors and chapels intertwine in a spiritual and artistic path that follows the rock, as if not to disturb it. The interiors are a succession of ancient frescoes, which tell stories of saints and faith with colors still alive. Here you breathe a deep silence, broken only by the sounds of nature and the slow pace of visitors. It is a place that invites recollection, but also wonder: a sanctuary that is born from hiding and becomes a treasure visible to those who seek, even for a moment, something eternal.

About Rome

Rome legt bijna drieduizend jaar geschiedenis in één stad die je te voet beleeft, van Colosseum en Forum tot barokke pleinen en Vaticaanse kunst.

Het oude Rome ligt nog altijd open en bloot. Het Colosseum, het Forum Romanum en de Palatijn staan samen in het hart van de stad, het Pantheon prijkt nog steeds met zijn open oculus en tussen de woonblokken duiken brokstukken van tempels en aquaducten op. Aan de overkant van de Tiber herbergt Vaticaanstad de Sint-Pietersbasiliek, de Vaticaanse Musea en het plafond van Michelangelo's Sixtijnse Kapel.
