A closer look
Set off from Rome for a spiritual journey into the heart of Puglia. You will be picked up from your hotel or apartment and travel in a comfortable private air-conditioned minivan, accompanied by a dedicated tour assistant.
The first stop will be the Grotto of San Michele Arcangelo in Monte Sant’Angelo, one of the oldest shrines in Christianity, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A mystical place linked to the apparitions of the Archangel Michael, it has been a pilgrimage destination for over a thousand years.
You will then continue to San Giovanni Rotondo to visit the Shrine of Padre Pio, one of the most important in the Catholic world. You will see the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, where Padre Pio lived and worked, with relics and his incorruptible body.
You will also visit the new Church of San Pio, designed by Renzo Piano, which houses the crypt with his remains.
You will have time to pray, reflect and have lunch before returning to Rome, bringing with you a unique spiritual and cultural experience.
