History-minded travellers can join a Cascia: Private Tour of Saint Rita's Basilica and Medieval Historic Center for a focused two-hour look at the sanctuary and old town, or follow her story on foot with the Cascia: Sacred Walking Tour of Saint Rita's Life and Legacy. Longer itineraries extend the same thread to Assisi and beyond, making Cascia a natural anchor for a culture-focused Umbrian
