Eremo di San Michele, Cave church and hermitage in Foglianise, Italy.
The hermitage includes three levels built into a mountain cavity, with a church above and former monk quarters in the lower sections.
The Lombards established this religious site in the 7th century after their conversion to Catholicism through the evangelization of Saint Barbatus of Benevento.
The hermitage contains 17th-century frescoes by Piperno and a bell from 1587 featuring an image of the Virgin of the Annunciation.
The religious site opens every Sunday morning and receives numerous visitors during special pilgrimages on September 29 and May 8.
A natural spring near the hermitage provides water during most of the year, except during summer months when it runs dry.
