cascia holiday

Cascia is a Umbria's town, famous thanks to Santa Rita. The city's medieval architectural jewels are worth a visit: the Gothic church of St. Francis, which will astound you because of the beauty of its rose-window and of its ogival portal and the church of St. Anthony Abate, dating back to the 15th century but reconstructed and modified during the baroque era. In the latter's interior, you'll admire a cycle of paintings depicting the life of the Saint. The Collegiate church of St. Mary is one of the city's oldest buildings: its origins go back to longobard times, even if it has been notably modified because of damage caused by subsequent earthquakes. The basilica and monastery of St. Rita are of great storical and religious importance, and have become world-famous religious centers.
