Why go

The hermitage turns Franciscan history into a landscape experience on Mount Subasio. Small chapels and natural cavities sit among trees and rock where friars sought solitude. Its hillside setting, away from the crowded central basilicas, makes silence and the scale of the mountain part of the visit. Allow time for the ascent and uneven outdoor paths.

What to look for

L’Eremo delle Carceri is surrounded by a series of natural cavities used as a refuge by hermits and Franciscans.

Useful to know

Allow extra time for the Mount Subasio approach and uneven outdoor paths.
