Overview
Cascia, a small village in central Italy. In the middle of the countryside. It's most famous for being the birth place of Holy Rita. A Saint, pillar in modern day Catholicism, an inspiration to many.
Your private tour driver will give you a wonderful introduction on the most interesting facts about this town to you and give you some free time to explore the area. Cascia was the home of Saint Rita, who was born in the nearby commune of Roccaporena in 1381; she also died there in 1457.
Here you can visit some places associated with the Saint, such as her native house, the miraculous rose garden, the church where she was baptized. The Sanctuary and the Rock are the main and unmissable “attractions” here in Roccaporena.
From Roccaporena, your private tour driver, will take you back to your hotel in Rome, while you enjoy the beautiful scenery.
At the end of this private day, your driver will take you back to Rome on a pleasant trip in the Country landscapes.

What to expect
Cascia
2h
This tour includes a visit of the most iconic and historical locations in Italy. Cascia is not only associated with the famous Saint, Holy Rita from Cascia, but it was the home of the Roman settlement of Carsulae, destroyed in the 1st century BC by an earthquake. In the middle ages, it was annihilated by the Byzantines and the Lombards, and was later an estate of land held on condition of feudal service for the Trinci family. It was occupied by papal troops in the 15th century, and thenceforth, it was a papal town until the unification of Italy in 1860.
