Holy Rita from Cascia & Roccaporena shrine!

Cascia was the home of Saint Rita. After her dedication in 1900, a large shrine was built in Cascia, which is still an important place of pilgrimage, and the house where she was born is open to public.

The modern territory of Cascia was a Roman settlement , destroyed in the 1st century BC by an earthquake. In the middle ages, it became a feudal center. And then it became a papal town until the unification of Italy in 1860.
