Eremo di Tizzano

The Eremo di Tizzano is a baroque church in Casalecchio di Reno featuring a single luminous nave with six side chapels connected by narrow passages. The chapel walls display notable paintings that decorate the interior.

Construction of the monastery began in 1655 under Camaldolese monks and concluded with its consecration to Saint Benedict in 1741. This extended building period shaped the site's development across generations.

The shrine draws visitors through its venerated religious objects that continue to hold spiritual importance for the local community. These sacred items remain central to how people connect with the place today.

The site sits at an elevation of 243 meters (800 feet) and offers views across the Bolognese plain and Reno Valley. Plan your visit during the posted opening hours to ensure access to the interior.

Behind the church sits a large lawn where traces of two original hermit cells remain visible among the grass. These ruins offer a quiet reminder of the monastic life that once unfolded in this remote location.
