The Majestic Sacra di San Michele

The Sacra di San Michele is an ancient abbey perched atop Mount Pirchiriano, offering breathtaking views of the Susa Valley and surrounding Italian countryside. Built in the late 10th century, this iconic monastery is an essential stop for history buffs, spiritual seekers, and travelers exploring Italy’s rich heritage. Notably, it is part of the Sacred Line of St. Michael, a straight alignment connecting seven churches dedicated to Saint Michael from Ireland to Israel. This sacred line includes famous sites such as Skellig Michael and Mont Saint-Michel, with the Sacra di San Michele being a pivotal point. The abbey’s stone corridors, stunning architecture, and deep spiritual history inspired Umberto Eco’s famous novel The Name of the Rose. Visitors can explore its mysterious interiors, take in the awe-inspiring landscapes, and reflect on centuries of devotion and solitude. Sacra di San Michele is a cultural and spiritual treasure that connects the past with the present.
