Eremo francescano, Franciscan hermitage on Monteluco hill, Italy.
The monastery complex includes multiple chapels, a central courtyard with a water well, and stone walls standing at 800 meters elevation.
Syrian hermits established the first religious settlement on this site during the 5th century, preceding Francis of Assisi's arrival in 1218.
The interior holds numerous artworks, including a Madonna and Child painting by Lazzaro Baldi and glass collections from Murano craftsmen.
The hermitage functions as an active church within the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Spoleto-Norcia, offering regular religious services and pilgrim visits.
The ancient rock formation beneath the stone altar reportedly served as Saint Francis's headrest during his periods of meditation.
