La Verna is a wooded mountain in the Tuscan Apennines which in 1213 Count Orlando of Chiusi gave to Saint Francis as a place of prayer and solitude. Francis stayed here in prayer many times. Today the summit holds a complex of churches, chapels and a Franciscan friary.
Pilgrims come above all to the Chapel of the Stigmata, built on the spot where, according to tradition, Francis received the marks of Christ's Passion in September 1224. They also visit the caves and rocky places where he prayed. The silence of the forest and the rugged landscape favour retreats and recollection.
The feast of the Stigmata of Saint Francis is celebrated on 17 September. The sanctuary lies in the mountains, in the municipality of Chiusi della Verna, and the nearest larger cities are Arezzo and Florence. It is worth being prepared for a cooler climate.
