Abbey of San Michele Arcangelo of Monticchio

Highlight • Religious Site

Spectacular architecture that stands out on the small lake of Monticchio. Initially carved into the rock by the Benedictine friars (inside beyond the church with an altar carved into the rock, there are 2 tombs of friars that can be visited) and then passed into the hands of the Capuchins who completed this spectacular work.
I recommend a visit to the museum where free guides will provide you with all the information and show you the differences between the 2 construction architectures, it is also possible to see one of the mouths of the volcano (now extinct following an implosion that generated the 2 lakes) from which the lava flowed and information on the lakes and flora and fauna (with a section dedicated to bramea).
Absolutely worth visiting.

It is a small ride that makes you discover the various inlets that lead to the shore of the large lake. The descent from the Abbey to the small lake via the long staircase is challenging for the brakes
