la verna (santuario francescano)印象
-
We decided to visit the abbey of La Verna after reading at some blog of its importance, we did not regret it, and certainly we must add it to our “recommended spots of interest” in Tuscany.The history of the place began in 1213 when Saint Francis bought the place from Count Orlando Cattani,Lord of the castle of chiusi.The Cloister, managed by Franciscan Capuchin monks.There are 2 restaurants there, with fix price menu which cost euro 16 a person and you can eat full meal, in 2 turns, 12.30 and 14.30.The entrance is free of charge, there is the museum, the church, small private cells to pray alone or with small group, there is spectacular view from the cliff, old forests with treks to walk around for miles in good and safe paths.

Santuario della Verna is worth the extra Ours of driving. An important Place for Fransesco the last days of his life and where he received the stigmata. One can wald about in the hilside where he prayed.

What an amazing experienceMake sure you do the wood's hike. It is tough but well worth. The view from the sanctuary is breath taking.The mystical feel is amazing. Don't miss the gift shop. Lovely soaps, liquors and chocolates made by the monks. Great souvenirs at good pricesFood in the hotel in the piazza is also very good and cheap

This place is so magical. If you have a car and free time, definitely must a visit. The view is breathtaking. I joined the 3:00 pm service where the priests sang and prayed throughout the complex. It was quite an experience! The keep this tradition for hundred of years. There is a cafeteria inside where they serve decent food.

After a curvy, mountainous drive which convinces one of St. Francis' holiness -- after all he came here on foot (!), we arrived at La Verna in the late afternoon. Here is where St. Francis received the stigmata 2 years before his death. His cell is still preserved, as is the spot where he received the stigmata. It is a silent spot, a place you have to want to get to as it's isolated. But it's a place to think, and pray and ponder the life of the 13th century saint who changed the Church by his very life. If you're into art, in the main basilica there are some wonderful della Robbias -- as well as one of St. Francis' rough habits and other things he used in his daily life. Go. Think. Pray. Thank God for life!

Am not a Catholic, and not even a Christian. But a visit to La Verna on an unseasonably cold May day was utterly moving. You must go!It is worth planning carefully; there is so much to see and learn. We were fortunate to catch a most beautiful 3.00pm service after which the monks processed along the corridor - still chanting - to the Stigmata Chapel. A wonderful experience. I wish we had read one of the guide-books in advance in order to take everything in fully.The drive up the mountain is glorious. La Verna is full of history. The monks seem an impressive, humble group. The monastery is close to the summit, surrounded by trees, with deep silence and magnificent views. If there is only one trip you make while in the area, this should be it. Wonderfully inspiring.

It was here that St. Francis received the stigmata. It's here that so many of the faithful are inspired to retrace the step of this important man. As soon as one arrives at the monastery it is obvious this is a special place. The views of the Tuscan country side and the reverence demonstrated inside the Chapel are inspiring. The simple Cross at the edge of the cliff is validation for all people of faith. This trip is a must.

A beautiful little piece of tranquillity. Take a walk around the various buildings perched high on a cliff overlooking the valley and take time to walk up into the majestic beech woods. A wonderful way to commune with nature.

This monastery is an incredible accomplishment of architecture, especially when you consider it dates back to the 13th century! What a beautiful and peaceful location, where guests can wander through a sacred space that still serves as a working monastery and convent. Very inspirational. Well worth a visit!

Obviously this is an important location for those of the Catholic faith, but it is also an architectural and outdoor wonder. You can spend the day hiking Monte Penna, visiting various vistas along the way. And the Sanctuary is stunning, lots of places outdoors and indoors to explore. Beautiful artwork, a gift shop, a restaurant and cafe, and sometimes a market in the parking lot. Worth the winding trip there!
