La Verna
The Monastery of La Verna is about 17 km from Poppi and is revered as the birth place of the Franciscan order. St Francis and his followers founded the order in 1230 on this enormous rock formation 1128m above sea level. This is the remote and solitary place where it is believed that St. Francis got his stigmata.
In the summer there are concerts and other events in the church of the monastery.
