Cascia

Tips for visiting Cascia

• Santa Rita (St Rita of Cascia) is one of the most widely venerated saints in Italy, known as the saint of impossible causes. Her shrine, the Basilica of Santa Rita, draws pilgrims from around the world.
• Her feast day is 22 May, when roses are blessed and thousands of pilgrims come. Book rooms well ahead around that date.
• Cascia is about 20 km from Norcia, so the two towns combine well in a day or a weekend.
• Like Norcia, the area was hit by the 2016 earthquakes, so check what is open before you go.

Dates, prices and rules change, so check official sites before you travel.
