La Valle Santa reatina: il cuore del Cammino di <strong>Francesco</strong><br />

The Sacred Reatine Valley: the heart of the St. Francis Walk<br />

Il Tempio di San <strong>Francesco</strong><br />

a 1.623 metri di quota<br />

sul Monte Terminillo.<br />

Il frutto di una lunga<br />

opera di costruzione<br />

dal 1949 al 1964.<br />

The Temple of St. Francis<br />

on Monte Terminillo,<br />

at an altitude of 1623 metres,<br />

was the result of many years<br />

of building work<br />

from 1949 to 1964.<br />

MONTE TERMINILLO<br />

Spostandosi dalla Valle Santa e risalendo il pendio<br />

del Monte Terminillo, s’incontra un’altra tappa<br />

del Cammino di <strong>Francesco</strong>: il Tempio votivo di<br />

S. <strong>Francesco</strong> al Terminillo. Era il 18 giugno 1939<br />

quando Pio XII dichiarava san <strong>Francesco</strong> d’Assisi<br />

Patrono d’Italia. A memoria di questo avvenimento<br />

i frati minori conventuali vollero edificare un tempio<br />

sul Monte Terminillo, a 1623 m di quota.<br />

Qui è custodita un’urna che conserva una<br />

reliquia del santo.<br />

Leaving behind the Sacred Valley and climbing the slopes<br />

of Mount Terminillo, the traveller encounters another<br />

important site on the St. Francis Walk: the Votive Temple<br />

of St. Francis in Terminillo. On the 18th of June 1939, Pope<br />

Pius XII declared St. Francis of Assisi Patron Saint of Italy.<br />

In memory of this occasion, the Friars Minor decided to<br />

build a temple on Mount Terminillo, at an altitude of 1623<br />

metres. Today the Temple is the resting place for an urn<br />

containing the Saint’s remains.
