Cassino Full Day

Información

This full day tour gives you a great introduction to the Neapolitan Riviera’s impressive architecture and wartime history. You’ll visit the Monte Cassino Abbey, a hilltop edifice that commands sweeping views over the city of Cassino. Its showpiece is the basilica, which is decorated in elaborate mosaics, and contains the remains of St. Benedict. Thanks to its long and turbulent 1,400-year history, the abbey has been destroyed and rebuilt four times. Most recently, it was bombed during the Second World War, and the second part of your tour will be spent in a nearby museum, learning about the conflict that took place here. You’ll also get to see the Commonwealth Cemetery – a haunting site that sits in the shadow of the abbey. It’s the resting place of the soldiers that fell during the battle.
