The first part of the route winds along secondary asphalt roads, crossing Caprile, home to the Hermitage of Sant’Angelo in Asprano, and continuing towards Castrocielo, Piedimonte San Germano and Villa Santa Lucia. Further on, after a turn, the Abbey of Montecassino appears in all its splendour and welcomes the pilgrims with the writing “PAX” above the entrance door. The route ends at the Basilica’s main altar, which enshrines the remains of San Benedetto and his twin sister, Santa Scolastica.
