Sansepolcro Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

Tradition has it that the city was founded around the 10th century by two pilgrims returning from the Holy Land. To preserve the relics from the Holy Sepulchre, they built an oratory with an adjoining hospital for pilgrims. The town of Borgo San Sepolcro was born around these buildings, later transformed into Sansepolcro. The current appearance of the center is from the Renaissance period, parts of the city walls built by the Medici family are still present.

Hermitage of Montecasale

Highlight • Religious Site

The hermitage of Montecasale is one of the most important places linked to the life of Saint Francis. It was the Saint himself who founded the hermitage inside a pre-existing building donated to him by the bishop of Città di Castello. It is also said that the wooden statue of the Madonna with Child was brought by Francis himself, even if there is no certain evidence of this. Its current appearance dates back to the 16th century. Outside the convent are visible: the source of “Grappa l'Orso” where the three thieves drank; the fountain of San Francesco, according to some, created by himself; the Sasso Spicco, where it is said that Francis competed with a nightingale in singing the praises of God, and the little garden where, according to tradition, Francis tested the ability of obedience of two young men eager to become friars.
