Hermitage of San Benedetto

Nestled in the heart of Sabina, a place of deep spirituality and history awaits visitors: an ancient hermitage, witness to centuries of devotion and reflection. Its isolated location, perched on a hill overlooking the Tiber valley, offers a breathtaking panorama and an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.

This sacred place, which began as a rural church in the 14th century, welcomed the first hermit in the 17th century and has since become a pilgrimage destination and place of contemplation. Its history is also marked by a tragic event in World War II, when eight American prisoners were shot here, a memory that adds an extra layer of meaning to this place of remembrance.

Today, the hermitage invites visitors to soak in its unique atmosphere, reflect on its history and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Nature trails in the surrounding area offer the opportunity to explore Sabina, discovering other places of historical and cultural interest, such as the church of St. Peter and the remains of a Roman villa.

This hermitage represents an unmissable stop for those who wish to discover the authentic soul of Sabina, a place where history, spirituality and nature come together in an unforgettable experience.
