Eremo di Calomini

The monastery sits at the base of a 70-meter rock wall, with sections of the structure extending 15 meters into the natural stone face.

The building transformed from a simple church to its current form during the 17th century, receiving an additional double facade in the 18th century.

The sanctuary holds the Madonna Della Penna, a revered willow wood artifact connected to a local girl's vision of the Virgin Mary in the year 1000.

Visitors can explore the rock-carved sacristy, ancient kitchen, and monastic cells during specific weekend hours, from morning until early evening.

The entire complex integrates with the natural rock formation, featuring living quarters and functional spaces carved directly into the stone surface.
