Montecassino

St. Benedict of Nursia established his first monastery, the source of the Benedictine Order, here around 529. The hilltop sanctuary was the site of the Battle of Monte Cassino in 1944, where the building was destroyed by Allied bombing and rebuilt after the war.


It was re- built in the same manor it had been before the bombing and it was our weekend wandering, it was only about 40 minutes from home and was a lovely day out to see whats around us!
