Only ruins remain of La Rocca, what was once the castle of the Counts of Nocera. Here Saint Rinald, bishop and patron saint of Nocera, was born. The hamlet of Villa – still inhabited – was once the castle’s farmland. Source: “La via di Francesco” – Edizioni San Paolo S.r.l.

ChiesaCostaDiTrex-800

A hamlet with an odd name (possibly from the contraction of “Costa di tre chiese”), where the pretty 11th century Chiesa di Santo Stefano is located. Nearby, the Fonte del Sanguinone, documented from 1128, still provides water to the nearby houses, after having done so for centuries for the town of Assisi, thanks to a Medieval …

stroncone

Set on an olive grove-covered hill, partly-walled Stroncone retains its historic atmosphere. The entrance to town is particularly picturesque thanks to the 17th century fountain and ancient castle gate. The Medieval Palazzo Comunale and the churches of San Nicolò and San Giovanni Decollato are worth a visit. Source: “La via di Francesco” – Edizioni San …

Mount Subasio was home to a number of hermits even before the time of Saint Francis; the saint and his brothers began to retreat to a small chapel and surrounding grottoes on this mountain around 1206. The oldest part of this convent dates from the middle of the 15th century; it was expanded to its …
