La Verna
Arezzo, Florence & Countryside
"One of the most important Franciscan sites in Europe, deeply connected to the life and legacy of Francis of Assisi. A place where devotion, wilderness and medieval spirituality intersect in a powerful way. "
Situated within the midst of the Tuscan Apennines (a rugged mountain range where the border between Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna is formed), the La Verna sanctuary is perched on Mount Penna. What makes it extra special is that not only is it shrouded by a National Park, but you can catch a glimpse of the stigmata of Saint Francis of Assisi from this vantage point. Guided tours are available, or spend a couple of nights here at the guesthouse.
