It is the destination of the evocative Cammino di San Benedetto which leads from his hometown of Norcia to the abbey of Montecassino which houses his tomb, passing through Subiaco where the Saint lived for a long time and where the monastery of Santa Scolastica and that of the Sacro Speco are located.

This castle can also be reached from the road that leads from Cassino to Montecassino. The fortification, which dominates the city from a steep cliff (193 m above sea level), was built around the middle of the 10th century by the abbot of Montecassino Aligerno, to defend the abbey.

Teatro Romano is an interesting open-air museum; a well-preserved complex on the mountainside with beautiful views of the town of Cassino in the valley, although it doesn't offer such a great picture!
