About Cascia
Cascia is a small Umbrian hill town whose whole identity revolves around Saint Rita, and first-timers feel that immediately — the basilica, the quiet medieval lanes, and the pilgrimage routes that converge here. If you are coming from Rome, the Day Trip from Rome to Assisi and St. Rita of Cascia pairs Assisi's Franciscan sites with Cascia's Augustinian ones in a single day, while the Cascia: Private Tour of Saint Rita's Basilica and Medieval Historic Center is the most direct way to understand the town if you are already here.

Frequently asked questions
Cascia is a pilgrimage town, not a sightseeing circuit, so the best first-timer experiences are built around Saint Rita's story: her basilica, her birthplace at Roccaporena, and the medieval streets she lived in. Guides here explain the devotion and the traditions, which is hard to piece together on your own.
