Hermitage of San Domenico, Romanesque hermitage in Villalago, Italy
The Hermitage of San Domenico stands on limestone cliffs above Lake San Domenico, featuring a cave structure integrated into the natural rock formation.
Saint Dominic of Sora established this spiritual refuge around the year 1000, with the current structure being constructed during the fifteenth century.
The entrance portico displays four large paintings from 1938 by Alfredo Gentili, depicting the life events and miracles of Saint Dominic.
Visitors can reach the hermitage via a stone bridge that connects to the main structure, with the site remaining open for religious and tourist visits.
The hermitage contains a neo-Gothic altar housing a wooden statue of Saint Dominic and a marble paliotto created by Giuseppe Mancini in 1761.
