Eremo di San Michele Arcangelo, Mountain hermitage in Maranola, Italy.
The Eremo di San Michele Arcangelo stands at 1220 meters on Mount Altino, featuring a stone facade that encloses a natural cave in the Aurunci Mountains.
Documentation from 830 CE in the Codex diplomaticus cajetanus mentions this religious site, while the current Neo-Gothic facade dates from a reconstruction in 1893.
The local population organizes two annual processions, carrying the statue of Saint Michael between Maranola and the hermitage during June and September celebrations.
Visitors reach the hermitage through a seven-kilometer trail from Rifugio Pornito, requiring approximately ninety minutes of hiking to access the mountain sanctuary.
Natural spring water flows from the rock vaults into collection tanks within the church walls, providing water resources in this elevated mountain location.
