Tour Highlight
San Giovanni Rotondo is renowned worldwide as the birthplace of St. Pio (also known as Padre Pio) of Pietrelcina, and as the city where the revered monk worked his miracles. Pio was beatified in 2002. In the Capuchin Monastery, Padre Pio received the stigmata in 1918, and it was there that all those supernatural events that led to his sainthood and canonization took place as well. Visiting this Monastery and viewing the chambers where St. Pio conducted his life is a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in a context of spirituality and mysticism; it is a destination that the devout and tourists alike should make every effort to visit.
