A few steps from the entrance of the Frasassi Caves, you will find the Heremitage of Santa Maria infra Saxa Hermitage, a building excavated in the rock known since XI century. In 1928 the Pope Leone XII, born in Genga, asked to the great architect Valadier to build an octagonal marble temple. The walk to the temple is not hard and once you are at destination you can still feel the particular combination between natural stone and religious presence.
