Spectacular cliffside church, hilltop bell to ring and a cave visited by the pope when he was younger. Can park and walk from Guadagnolo which is a downhill walk along a tarred road which lets you see the views. I spent few days there with total disconnect from civilization. Great place and neighborhood. Beautiful shrine of Our Lady of Mentorella with splendid views. In that place a Roman soldier converted to Christ after seeing Him in a vision. There is a cave where St. Benedict of Nursia lived two years in solitude. And also it was a favourite place of pilgrimage for St. John Paul II, both when he was a priest studying in Rome and as a Cardinal (for example a few days before the conclave in 1978 in which he was elected) and as Pope. Great surrounding for trekking with magnificient view from some peaks of moderate mountains with grass meadows and herds of cattle and horses. The shrine worth a stop for a prayer. I was impressed with modest little cemetary of monks and priests that served there from the beginning of 20th century, some of them were Polish. JPIl liked the place and used to come there. Not easy to get there, still you will find a precious holy nook with wall paintings, wooden Holy Virgin Statue, Saint Benedict rocky shelter and an amazing surroundings. Ancient monastery perched on a rocky cliff with an extraordinary view and sacred cave inside the rocks. A calm and inspiring place. A very tranquil place. It's understandable why Pope St. John Paul II loved to visit this sanctuary. A good place for prayer and reste.
