Eremo di San Marco, Romanesque hermitage in Piagge, Italy.
The stone monastery stands against the rocky wall of Colle San Marco, incorporating natural cave formations into its travertine block construction.
Founded in the 13th century by Cistercian monks, the hermitage underwent transformation in 1387 when the Sgariglia family converted it into a church.
The structure reflects medieval monastic practices, with spaces designed for prayer and solitude, including preserved frescoes and tombs of the Tibadelschi family.
Visitors can reach the hermitage through a marked trail starting near Ristorante Il Cacciatore, following red and white signs through the forest path.
The building integrates maiden hair ferns growing from its walls, while its windows provide expansive views across Ascoli Piceno and Tronto Valley.
