Eremo di Sant'Alberto di Butrio

The stone quadrangular monastery stands on a rocky spur, encompassing Saint Mary's parish church, three oratories, and the Holy Sacrament chapel.

In 1030, Albert established the hermitage after healing a nobleman's mute son, who built a Romanesque church in gratitude for the miracle.

The monastery contains numerous frescoes from 1484, presumably painted by an anonymous friar who chose not to sign his works.

The hermitage welcomes visitors Monday through Friday from 7:00 to 16:30, and weekends and holidays from 10:00 to 16:30.

Brother Ave Maria, blinded by a gunshot to his face in his youth, spent over forty years at the hermitage in prayer and penance.
