We were able to drive up with a family member but so much mountains greenery speechless beautiful. Then turn around and the Sanctuary a beautiful building built in the mountain Not being able to envision how they built this beautiful building so many years ago! When you enter it’s just very peaceful and feel spiritual; it gave me chills. I felt more spirituality here than feeling anything at the Vatican. At the end of San Benedetto there’s a quaint gift shop.

The Subiaco's Abbatian Fortress is not only architecture and art but it represents also the history of Subiaco and of the surrounding territory. It was built almost a millennium ago, therefore in 1070 by the Abbot Giovanni V. Toward the middle if the 15th century Pope Callisto III decided to astablish the Cardinal Commendam so the fortress became the residence of the commendatory abbots. Here lived Rodrigo Borgia so in 1480 born his daughter Lucrezia Borgia.Today the Fortress is still considered a beautiful and suggestive place especially for its nobles and fully painted apartments of the Colonna (XVI sec.) and Braschi (XVIIIsec.) family. The fortress provides a single point of view on the medieval village and the valley below. Thanks to Liborio Coccetti's tempera yuo can see the entire fortress as it appeared at the and of 18 century, while the grotsque of the circle of Perin del Valgareminds yuo the atmosphere of the Renaissace banquets. Many historical figures have linked their name to the "Rocca Abbaziale". The most famous were RODRIGO BORGIA and her daugheter LUCREZIA BORGIA, the COLONNA FAMILY, POPE PIUS VI AND POPE PIUS IX.
