A fundamental destination of medieval pilgrimages and guardian of
the “Via Francigena”, it has played an important role in the development of our
region and in the history of Christianity. The Sacra di San Michele, monument
symbol of Piedmont, is known above all for its architectural charm and for its
events that run through 1000 years of history.
During our guided tour of the Sacra we will discover the mysteries
lying in this ancient devotion place to Archangel Michael and you will be
surprised to find the balance between the Abbey and the environment in which it
is inserted, fascinating and frightening at the same time.
It is no coincidence that Umberto Eco was inspired by the ancient Abbey
to write his literary worldwide famous masterpiece "The name of the
rose"...
